Acts 27:14-27 Shipwreck

But before very long there rushed down from the land a violent wind, called Euraquilo;  and when the ship was caught in it and could not face the wind, we gave way to it and let ourselves be driven along.  Running under the shelter of a small island called Clauda, we were scarcely able to get the ship’s boat under control.  After they had hoisted it up, they used supporting cables in under girding the ship; and fearing that they might run aground on the shallows of Syrtis, they let down the sea anchor and in this way let themselves be driven along.  The next day as we were being violently storm-tossed, they began to jettison the cargo; and on the third day they threw the ship’s tackle overboard with their own hands.  Since neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small storm was assailing us, from then on all hope of our being saved was gradually abandoned. When they had gone a long time without food, then Paul stood up in their midst and said, “Men, you ought to have followed my advice and not to have set sail from Crete and incurred this damage and loss.  Yet now I urge you to keep up your courage, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.  For this very night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve stood before me, saying, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; you must stand before Caesar; and behold, God has granted you all those who are sailing with you.’  Therefore, keep up your courage, men, for I believe God that it will turn out exactly as I have been told. But we must run aground on a certain island.”But when the fourteenth night came, as we were being driven about in the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors began to surmise that they were approaching some land.

Throughout this ordeal on the ship to Rome, the Lord was with Paul.  The text says that an Angel of the Lord told Paul to "fear not."  Paul must go and make testimony before Caesar and the the Lord has given these sailors over to Paul.
Paul encourages the sailors to be of good cheer, because those on the ship will be saved.

Daily Prayer:  Lord we must learn to trust You in all matters, both great and small.  You are the Mighty God and nobody can deliver me out of Your hand.
There is nothing too hard for You and nothing too small for Your concern.  The saying "Let go and let God," is very true.  Now empower us to do it.  In Jesus name I  pray Amen.
