Acts 27 - 28

What stood out today: v27:24 An angel said to Paul: 'Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand trial before Caesar; and God has graciously given you the lives of all.’ v31 Unless these men stay with the ship, you cannot be saved. v44 In this way everyone reached land in safety. v28:31 Boldly and without hindrance he preached the kingdom of God and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ.

My response: God, you are so close, so involved. You know when we are afraid, you take action. Your plans will prevail. Your way is the way of safety – stay with the ship – in this way everyone reached land safely. Jesus, you are the ship. Your journey is precarious but safe. Lord, Jesus, as Paul preached about your kingdom and taught about you boldly and without hindrance, would you empower me to do what you want me to do? Jesus, you are the Life. You are the Lord of Life. Yes, you are the Life.
