Intsy Wintsy, but Phenomenal

I was driving to an appointment yesterday, when I noticed up in the left-hand corner of my windshield, an extremely tiny spider. It was about the size of a small tick and a kind of light tan neutral color. This little guy was staying on my windshield with seemingly little effort at all. I thought that was rather cool.

Not intending to hurt my tiny ride hitcher, but to satisfy my curiosity, I juiced my car a bit, and then a bit more, and... This amazing little creature was able to stay on a glass surface going over 70! And when I slowed and came to a stop, he merely walked off onto the top of my car.

What a simple pleasure. To be entertained by this minuscule (in physical size, mind you) miracle. To be able to glorify his Creator for his phenomenal design and creativity manifested in the little and so overlooked examples, such as my 8 legged passenger. I hope he made it back home and is still enjoying my car. Thanks God.
