Acts 27

“So keep up your courage, men, for I have faith in God that it will happen just as he told me” (25). Paul, a prisoner, along with his traveling companions (1- 2), faced great danger as they sailed to Italy (1-2). Paul tried to warn of the disasters (10) ahead if they sailed through winter conditions, but no one listened. They endured fourteen days of terrifying storms and the ship broke apart, but the prisoners and crew were saved. God had kept his promise: Paul would testify in Rome (23).

“In this way everyone reached land safely” (44). False accusations, chains, a violent storm, a broken ship – nothing can stop God from keeping his promises. We are safe in his hands.
