Believe God

                                                                                                  Acts 27:25
                                                                  "Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer; for I believe God
                                                                            that it shall be even as it was told to me."
                 
        A most spectacular thing happened to Paul, when He was on the High sea. He was a prisoner and heading to Rome to stand trial.  It was a bad time for sailors to sail. The ship pitched and rolled for two weeks through hurricane winds. They could not even get a glimpse of sun during the day or of the stars at night.  It all seemed hopeless.  That's when Paul gave them an encouraging word from God. "Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer; for I believe God.
        Paul told them about the news God's angel had told him when he appeared to him during the night, bringing a promise from God.  Although the ship would be lost, there would be no lives lost, and Paul would reach Rome in God's appointed time.
        The faith in God's word that Paul displayed on the high seas, shows his confidence in what God promised him; Paul knew God would deliver on time every time. My friends we as Christians must adapt this "Heart felt confidence that Paul displayed; not only on the high seas, but throughout his entire ministry.  "Paul Believed God!"  Today ponder on the legacy that you will leave behind. I want mine to be, "Robert Believed God."
        Amen!!
