Satan is like a spider,
who spins a web silken
in hopes of capturing
any of God’s children.
He stealthily awaits,
for his poor clueless prey
so into his sticky trap
he can cunningly sway.
His legs are like soldiers,
they are deft and skillful
at keeping you enmeshed
in doing what is sinful.
So subtle and clever he is,
you won’t see the snare
until he has you trapped
once inside of there.
Satan is like a spider,
who spins a web of lies
he doesn’t care just who . . .
in his web of evil dies!
~~~~~~~~~
And the Lord God
said unto the woman,
What is this that thou hast done?
And the woman said,
The serpent beguiled me,
and I did eat.
Ye are of your father the devil,
and the lusts of your father
ye will do. He was a murderer
from the beginning, and abode
not in the truth, because
there is no truth in him.
When he speaketh a lie,
he speaketh of his own:
for he is a liar,
and the father of it.

Great metaphor! Satan as a spider is accurate and right on. He is the lowest of the low.

Over the years I have come to learn that the devil is very real, and that evil is always a lot closer than we want to believe. I was touched personally by this evil existence, and lived a very dark life for a very long time!! The only sure-fire protection abides in the Spirit of god!!!
