The Web I Couldn’t See
October 30, 2026
Dear Friend,
Several years ago we bought a home in the country. The previous owner had left security
cameras on the property, and we began watching them whenever they alerted us to a sound or
movement. Bears, mountain lions, bobcats, elk, deer, raccoons, and even a neighbor’s dog
occasionally appeared. We came to enjoy seeing what the cameras revealed.
Then the picture at the entrance began to blur. Fuzzy lines, like ropes, ran across the screen at
odd angles. Some days there were fewer; other days there were more. The camera even seemed
to try to focus on them, leaving the animals and everything else out of focus. For months we
blamed the camera. We changed the batteries, and I considered replacing it.
Finally, we discovered the cause while watching a recording. Movement had triggered the
camera, and there on the screen a pair of legs appeared, followed by part of a body. Then another
fuzzy rope stretched across the lens. It was a spider, and those fuzzy ropes were its web!
We went outside to examine the lens, but we couldn’t see a web or a spider. We wiped the lens
anyway, and presto! The picture was clear.
A few days later, the fuzzy lines returned.
The web was so small that we couldn’t see it with our eyes. The spider appeared on the recording
only under the camera’s magnification. All those months, we had blamed the camera when
something almost invisible was interfering with its view.
I wonder how often I do the same thing. When life looks out of focus, I examine my
circumstances and the people around me. But do I ever consider that something in my own heart
might be affecting how I see things?
David prayed, “Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults” (Psalm
19:12, KJV).
Secret faults—not necessarily secrets from other people, but things we may not recognize in
ourselves. Impatience we call honesty. Pride we mistake for conviction. Resentment we justify
because we believe we have been wronged. We may sincerely think we see things clearly while
overlooking something that distorts our view.
Notice David’s prayer. He doesn’t claim he can discover every fault within himself. He asks God
to cleanse him. And in another psalm, he prayed, “Search me, O God, and know my heart”
(Psalm 139:23, KJV). David was willing to let God reveal what he could not see for himself.
That is where I find hope. Jesus doesn’t ask me to discover and correct every hidden fault by my
own strength. He invites me to come to Him, and to come again when the web returns. He invites
me to let His Word search my heart and to trust His grace to cleanse and change me. Sometimes
He shows me something I would never have recognized on my own. That discovery need not
drive me away from Him. It can draw me closer to the Savior who loves me too much to leave
me as I am.
Perhaps this week, when something looks out of focus, I can pause before deciding that I see the
whole picture. I can ask Jesus to help me see clearly—including anything in my own heart that I
cannot see without His help.
And I can be thankful that the One who shows me what I cannot see is also the One who comes
to the lens and wipes it clean.
