Eight Legged Miss

The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the water spout;
Down came the rain and washed the spider out;
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain;
And the itsy bitsy spider climbed up the spout again.

 
 
Isn't that life?  I'm that little pitiful spider climbing up the water spout, and inevitably the rain comes...sometimes it's the monsoon season!!  ...And we get all "washed out".  But the "sun...or Son" comes, or rather we come to Him and the "rain" dries up....  and REPEAT.  C'est La Vie! 
 I'm gettin' on my hiking boots, and my scuba mask.
 
Eph 6:10-17  ...Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armour of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armour of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled round your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
