What can we learn from this plant?
The Desert Snail stays tucked away most of the year in a shell, coming out for a very short period of time.
Unlike the Desert Snail, it is important that believers have a community or at least one person to link arms with, especially at the appointed times, not just once per year. It keeps us awake the other days of the year!
Yeshua said that “where two or three are together in my name, I am there also,” emphasizing the point that praying together and meeting together on holy convocations is more powerful than by yourself.
Just as Aaron and Hur held up Moses’s hands when he got weak, so we need to have friends that will help us with our burdens. Just as the four men lowered their paralyzed friend through the roof on a stretcher to get to Yeshua, so we need to have friends that will hold us up when we are weary.
If we are not to grow weary in well doing and spiritually "sleep" too much, leaving only slime instead of good works, we need community. Otherwise:
Let them be as a snail which melts away as it goes along, (Ps 58:8)
