Bubble of protection

They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. (John 17:16)

The water spider is called the frogman of the spider world. It spins a tough basket-like web of silk, a kind of diving bell, and anchors it under water to plants or other objects. Then it captures a surface air bubble, which it pulls down and ejects into its underwater house, filling it with air. This allows the water spider to live in an environment that normally would destroy it.

As Christians, we too live in an environment that could destroy us. We must build a "bubble" of protection around ourselves by studying the Scriptures, praying, fellowshipping with believers, communing with the Holy Spirit, trusting God, and obeying His Word.
