In Acts 27 it tells
the story of Paul making the trip to Rome and how hard it was. Shipwrecks and all of that. Here is just an example.
Acts 27:27-38(NKJV)
Now when the
fourteenth night had come, as we were driven up and down in the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors sensed that
they were drawing near some land.
And they took
soundings and found it to be twenty
fathoms; and when they had gone a little farther, they took soundings again and
found it to be fifteen
fathoms.
Then, fearing lest
we should run aground on the rocks, they dropped four anchors from the stern,
and prayed for day to come.
And as the sailors
were seeking to escape from the ship, when they had let down the skiff into the
sea, under pretense of putting out anchors from the prow,
Paul said to the
centurion and the soldiers, “Unless these men stay in the ship, you cannot be
saved.”
The lesson that
stands out to me is that no matter how chaotic things got, Paul was still able
to hear and trust God. Very cool!
