November 16th and 17th -- Acts 27

Please read the passage, even though it's a whole chapter!

I guess all that stands out to me in this is the shipwreck. To me it becomes an analogy. Paul and his ideas represent God and His plans. We would be the captain/crew and their plans. When the crew and captain did what they wanted, they almost ended up overboard. It wasn't until Paul took over that things started to be fixed. Had nobody listened to Paul, they would have been overboard. Sometimes we try and steer our "ship" of life OUR way. However, that's not what's meant to happen. We need to let God steer our ship. We don't know what storms of life lie ahead, but He knows the safest places for us to dock, and He will carry us through each storm of life into safety. That doesn't mean our "ship" won't have to lose some stuff or take some damage, but it means we still come out of it alive.
So, who's steering your ship?

God bless! Shalom!
