Ever heard of a limpet? The limpet is a relative of a snail and has a one-piece shell like a pointy hat. It has one big foot and a strong suction cup but no eyes. Limpets are rock dwellers and always go back to the same rock after eating. Sometimes they use the same spot for their whole life.
If you were walking along a beach and came upon a limpet unawares, you could knock him off his rock with your walking stick. But if the limpet sensed that you were approaching, there's no way in God's wide world that you could knock him from his perch. His suction cup is so strong and powerful that nothing, but nothing could move him. That limpet wouldn't understand what was happening. It wouldn't understand what you wanted. It wouldn't understand how intricately it was made. But it would do the one thing it knew how to do -- it would cling!
How we need spiritual limpets today -- people who know how to cling to the Rock Christ Jesus. People who know how to cling to God's promises in the face of any and all difficulties. Even though they do not understand what's happening, or why some things are happening, they do what they know to do best -- they cling to the solid Rock!
In the face of life's raging storms, in the face of untold difficulties, in the face of perplexing problems, get hold of a promise from God and cling to it for all you're worth! God watches over His Word to perform it, and you will not be disappointed.
Are you a spiritual limpet? If not, start working toward becoming one today.
