In the Midst of the Storm

While studying Acts today, I ran across some truths that we can learn from Paul’s shipwreck incident.

1. Paul knew from his feelings that disaster was coming. Yet when God speaks a promise to Paul, all that changes. Have faith when God gives you a promise!
2. God can speak even [or especially] through the storm; we must be ready and listening.
3. God may run us aground somewhere before He gets us to our final destination, but all will be well. It is probably for the betterment of those around us.
4. No matter where God puts us, He always gives us support. Get rid of your idea of what a miracle is, and God is free to show you what He can do for you.

The secret to godliness is: “This is God’s will for me right now”, no matter what is going on, or what it looks like, or if it’s unpleasant to go through.
