A prayer group had a senior leader who used to repeat a particular prayer point in every gathering to worship, “Oh God, remove all the cobwebs entangling my life.” One day, one of the group members tired of hearing this repeated request, prayed aloud, “Lord, our leader has been praying every day to get this cobwebs removed. Kindly grant him the strength to kill the spider that is causing this constant trouble!” And all other members with great applaud enjoined and said the prayer.
Man has an inherent inclination to sin. Satan skilfully exploits this tendency to draw us towards sin again and again. Bondage, ignorance and self condemnation to certain things and attitudes may be the driving force that leads us to a sin repeatedly. The knowledge and determination to remove the root cause of the sin is the best way to escape from a temptation.
Moral
In this case, killing of the spider is the surest way to avoid cobwebs.
In addition, believers should concentrate more on the crave to please God rather than constant battling against sin which brings about self condemnation before God.
very good
