A thing of beauty ( Numbers 32 v 23 )

The morning was misty and damp,and I was out walking, I notice a lot of spiders webs,I stopped and had a look at them. My initial conclusion was they were things of beauty,made by small little creatures,and it appears  that they have this amazing  ability,to make webs, those apparent things of beauty.But then they are more than a thing of beauty,they are things of danger to those little creatures  who are unfortunate enough to get caught in them. We read of a man called Achan  and he saw a things of beauty, a beautiful robe,silver and gold .We can read about him in the book of  Joshua  chap 7,Achan and the army had conquered the city of Jericho, God had  forbidden anyone to take any of the spoils of war, but Achan who knew this disobeyed. ,he hid what he had taken,in his tent. How foolish and blind he was, the Lord God who sees all things saw him.Nothing happened immediately,but his actions had sad consequences.Israel experienced defeat in their next battle,and lives were lost, no matter attractive something may be, no matter how beautiful it  may  look,no matter how desirable it is,if God says its wrong, if we disobey,there will be consequences, as  Achan  and his family found out. And so will we if he step unto the path of disobedience .
