The Apostle Paul was a prisoner of Rome heading to trial before Caesar. In the course of that journey, he found himself confronted by a serious dilemma.
And saying, “Men, I perceive that this voyage will end with disaster and much loss, not only of the cargo and ship, but also our lives.”
Some timely lessons can be drawn from this passage in Acts 27:
- One filled with the Spirit can see the direction the voyage is taking when seasoned seamen can’t.
- One can make a true statement that sounds ridiculous to the natural man.
- Experience or the Word of God seems to be the theme of the chapter.
- The majority decided to sail on which proves that the majority can be wrong.
- A gentle wind looked like opportunity when it was actually luring them to disaster.
- Fighting the inevitable is a losing battle.
- Don’t give up trying because you can reap a harvest with patience and time.
Galatians 6:9
And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.
They all survived because there was a man on board armed with the truth and willing to reveal it.
Think about it.
