Hope in Your Storms
On the third day, they threw the ship’s tackle overboard with their own hands. When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days and the storm continued raging, we finally gave up all hope of being saved. After they had gone a long time without food, Paul stood up before them and said: “Men, you should have taken my advice not to sail from Crete; then you would have spared yourselves this damage and loss. But now I urge you to keep up your courage, because not one of you will be lost; only the ship will be destroyed.” Acts 27:19-22 NIV Don't allow those storms in your life guide nor distract you. Turn from your quiet complaining and use this time to come closer to me. Reach out and find my safety. Come and sit before me and be cleaned. Watch for me. I will guide you in the ways you should go. I will demonstrate my love.
