I love that Scripture pictures the Lord as a Rock. The children of Israel were without water. They complained against Moses. Exodus 17:6 says, “Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock of Horeb; and you shall strike the rock, and water will come out of it…”

The children of Israel drank from that Rock. 1 Corinthians 10:4 says, “…For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ.” We drink from Him as well. In John 7:37 Jesus said, “…If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.”

I don’t know how the mind of a barnacle works. However, it instinctively knows to cling to something immovable when there is a violet storm. It clings with refusal to let go.

For us, I call it barnacle faith.  Psalm 63:8 in the Amplified says, “My whole being follows hard after You and clings closely to You; Your right hand upholds me.” I’m remembering some great hymns. Rock of Ages, Hiding In Thee, A Shelter In The Time Of Storm. He is our Impenetrable Rock.
