These two messages consider the unique individual design that God created in the Beaver and the Black and Yellow Garden Spider.  Just as we surround ourselves with the things we enjoy, God does the same thing, even to the point that he told us that when he saw everything that he had made he said it was very good, including this very large Spider that could cause a sense of fear in us if we were to be surprised by one. 

  How could God say spiders and many other creepy things were good to look at?  Before Adam and Eve sinned and God placed a curse on the earth, there was nothing to fear because nothing God had made could cause harm to others.  The experience of his creation was probably one of curiosity as they first met each other, perhaps when God brought them to Adam to see what name he would give them.  No doubt they all could appreciate their Creator’s ability to make everything beautiful and unique.

  For believers we have a blessed hope, not only of Jesus Christ’s return but of the new earth foretold in Revelation 21 & 22 where there is no more curse and nothing that can cause harm. 

  The fear we feel is a result of danger from things that may possibly harm us.  It is learned first as small children as we observe parents when they react to situations and things.  It triggers an adrenaline rush that forms a permanent memory about those circumstances which guards us in the future.  Many times children have an unfounded fear that was a result of some unrealistic fear that a parent may have, but they have no fear of poison in the home because there was never an abrupt reaction by parents to the cleaning substances under the sink or electrical outlets that can be lethal.
