Can you hear me now?


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!
