Monday, June 24 - Acts 27

SHIPWRECK

The riveting story of Paul's journey to Rome includes this story of storms and shipwreck.  It shows, once again, how God is in control of all things and makes use of even the wind and the waves to accomplish His purposes.

As the disciples were strengthened in faith as a result of Jesus' calming of the stormy sea, so also did God harness this storm to be a witness to those 200+ passengers who were on Paul's ship.

Paul used this terrifying experience to give witness to Christ -- to declare his faith in the midst of crisis.  This story also serves as a good story to motivate us to share our confidence in Christ in the midst of storms.
