FIDDLER CRAB
By Marion Smith
October 19, 2010
Recently Jennifer(my daughter) and I took a walk along Delray
Beach. We were strolling on the sidewalk adjacent to the ocean when
she looked down and saw a fiddler crab scurrying across the sidewalk
directly in front of us. This was the smallest crab I had ever seen --
about the size of my thumbnail.
She wanted to protect this little fellow and tried to pick
it up and place it in a safer area. When she attempted this, he
automatically raised his front claws, and his pincers began to work
and work; to protect himself. His natural instincts kicked in when he
felt threatened, and he tried his best to guard himself.
When I feel threatened or afraid, do I act in the flesh as
this little crab had done? Or do I rely on the power of God to
rescue and lead me? God has promised over and over again in His Word
that He is our rescuer and guide. We must always put our trust in
Him, for His love for us is never failing and I know He has our best
interest uppermost in His mind.
