*DATE: MONDAY 12TH MARCH, 2019*
*TOPIC: WHAT TO DO IN LIFE’S “COBWEBS”*
*BASIC SCRIPTURE: 1SAMUEL 30:1-6*
There was once a newborn butterfly, basking on a flower on a bright, warm, sunny day. A young boy while passing by, desired to catch it. in the ensuing panic, the butterfly flew up and got entangled in a large, abandoned cobweb. As it struggled, a mature butterfly of the same species noticed it and spoke to it as follows: “I have encountered many a cobweb myself. Follow the following steps:
A. The cobweb is of no threat to you as the resident spider has moved. The boy meant no harm. He just wanted to show you to his pals and let you go. *Problems are not always as big as we imagine! Don’t exaggerate problems!*
B. To free yourself, apply a steady pressure on the cobweb and continue until the strands break through enough to let you go.”
The young butterfly quickly applied these steps and was out of the cobweb in minutes. *The truth about life is that it is full of “cobwebs” (mysterious trials).* Apply the following principles in handling cobwebs situations:
1. Do not allow minor disappointments to develop into major forms of distress. *Never panic in a “cobweb.”*
2. Know that “cobwebs” are unavoidable! No matter how smart you are in life, you will encounter some “cobwebs” (deliberate mistakes) on your way through life. Refuse to condemn yourself over past “stupid” mistakes. David wept in today’s scripture Vs. 4 but moved on to victory! 3. Never draw a conclusion of utter helplessness in a cobweb! Don’t ever think: “This is the end” or “I am finished” or “I am doomed”. 4. There is always a way out of every “cobweb.” Be patient and look for it. 5. Every problem has a solution and an expiry date. 6. In some cases, even SOLUTIONS create new problems. 7. Remember that the skies are most beautiful just after a storm! There is a testimony ahead. 8. You must take small steps in the right direction to get out of every “cobweb.” Hear James Allen: *“No situation can be difficult of itself. It is the lack of insight into its intricacies, and the want of wisdom in dealing with it, which gives rise to the difficult; immeasurable, therefore, is the gain of a difficulty transcended.”*

*Song 4: My Hope Is Built On Nothing Less*
1. My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus Christ, my righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.
*Chorus*
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
2. When darkness veils his lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.
3. His oath, His covenant, His blood,
Supports me in the whelming flood;
When all around my soul give way,
He then is all my hope and stay.
4. When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found;
In Him, my righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.
