Devotional: Acts 27

The storm at sea in Acts 27 describes how the sailors did everything they could to respond to the storm (13-20). In the storms of our life, even when we diligently respond to the pressures in our environment, it is still not enough. At this point, it is natural to be discouraged and “escape the ship” (32). However, in these high-stress situations in life, God speaks to us and provides direction. An angel of God spoke to Paul in the middle of the storm and reminded him of God’s calling for him to stand before Caesar (24). In the midst of the storms in our life, take heart that God sovereignly uses storms to reveal and affirm His ultimate purpose for us.
