The hypocrite shall perish, whose confidence shall be cut off, and whose trust is a spider's web. He leans on his house, but it does not stand. He holds it fast, but it does not endure.

They ... weave the spider's web; their webs shall not become garments.
Job 8: 13 - 15.

The spider's web
A big spider's web has been woven between high grasses near the ground. Covered with frost, it is a magnificent sight. What fragile work! Just a light touch will destroy it.

A friend of the patriarch Job used this illustration to speak about "all who forget God" (v.13). He stated that their confidence will be "a spider's web". Resting on one's own merits to get right with God will prove useless.

SPIRITUAL WARFARE I

When we are told to put on the whole armour of God, one thing becomes clear instantly. This is the fact that there is a God. We cannot be talking of the armour of God if there is no God. Anyone who thinks that there is no God is a fool (Psalm 14:1). You have to pray that God would reveal Himself to you. The...More 		SATAN INTIMIDATES
