Acts 27-28 Shipwreck


by Jill Ice

The journey and shipwreck of Paul teach a couple of important lessons. One is that when God wants something done, it gets done, period! Nothing will stop it from completion.
 
The other is that God, as we have seen since Genesis, always keeps His promises. Paul was imprisoned, betrayed, the target of assassination, 2,000 miles away from his destination, shipwrecked, stranded on an island, and had a deadly snake bite him severely enough to have hung from his hand. Yet God wanted him to be in Rome, and had promised that he would get there safely. We can take comfort, knowing that His will is going to be done, and that He has promised salvation for His faithful.
