"....Paul stood in the midst of them and said... 'I urge you to take heart, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship. For there stood by me this night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve, saying, "Do not be afraid, Paul; you must be brought before Caesar; and indeed God has granted you all those who said with you." ' "
Acts 27:21-24
The ship was sinking, no matter how hard they tried to save it by throwing things overboard. It seemed disaster was the only outcome. But there were three Believers on board – Paul, Luke, and Aristarchus – and God had a future planned for them. So he saved 276 people for the sake of three (vs. 37). It seems that our ship (this world) is headed for disaster. No matter how hard our leaders try to save it, it is sinking. But be of good cheer; God has a plan. I truly believe that the only thing that keeps our society from being totally going under is the fact that there are still a few people who serve God. Sodom would have been saved if there had been only 10 godly people (Genesis 18:32). When Believers are raptured and there are no godly people around, society will sink into chaos. I'm glad that even though the ship sinks, God will save us from destruction.
Today's Thought: Believers are the reason God does not destroy this world.
Have a "heartened" day because of God's care for you. Love you.
