“When the fourteenth night had come, as we were being driven across the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors suspected that they were nearing land. So they took a sounding and found twenty fathoms. A little farther on they took a sounding again and found fifteen fathoms. And fearing that we might run on the rocks, they let down four anchors from the stern and prayed for day to come. And as the sailors were seeking to escape from the ship, and had lowered the ship’s boat into the sea under pretense of laying out anchors from the bow, Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, “Unless these men stay in the ship, you cannot be saved.” Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the ship’s boat and let it go.”

All,

This stands out because Paul says, “Unless these men stay in the ship, you cannot be saved.”  Why would these soldiers listen to Paul when they were the professional sailors?  Are there times when people are willing to stop relying on themselves and obey God?  I’m sure all of us have been through those, but why don’t we stay in that mindset?  We should. “Life in the Presence of God”, by Ken Boa is a excellent way to grow closer and more dependent on God everyday. Please pray that we and our friends grow closer to God today. Please pray for men that may want to know more about CLC.
