“22. And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man’s life among you, but of the ship. 23. For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve, 24. Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee. 25. Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.”
Where do yo stand today? Do you belong to the King? Looking at the Apostle Paul’s life we can quickly see that his life was about Jesus Christ and nothing about himself! In verse 23 it is evident that Paul belonged to the King! When you examine your own life could respond just as Paul did? “whose I am, and whom I serve,” Any time we read about angels it seems that they always came with a message from God! We don’t have those same experiences today, but we need to realize is that during Paul’s day the Bible had not been completed yet! Today, angels don’t speak to us because the Word of God is complete, whole, and absolutely perfect! Through history and study you will come to the place of realizing that the King James Bible is the perfect Word in the English language. Do you believe the Bible that you read is totally perfect without error? If you don’t believe all of it, how do you believe any of it? Though Paul had an angel speak to him, we have the Word of God that will always speak to us. The amazing thing about this passage of scripture is that God cannot fail and His Word will come to pass just exactly as He says! Paul was in bondage and being carried to Rome, in a ship, under the army of Caesar. Paul gave a very clear warning to not set sail from a place called Crete, because the weather would be to much to bear, but Caesar’s army refused to listen and set sail anyway. This passage of scripture is a very terrifying time, because they are now being tossed about the Mediterranean Sea and everyone is in fear that their lives will soon be lost! Paul says, you should have listened, but don’t worry! God spoke to me through His angels and hey, its all going to be ok. Sometimes life is like a ship being beaten down at sea, but God is faithful and powerful to deliver us out of all trials! It first goes back to the King James Bible. Do you believe God speaks to you through His Word? Do you believe things will come to pass just as God says it will? Don’t let a lack of faith derail your walk during times of the storm. God cannot fail! Paul and the crew went through some great ship wreck ahead, but not one soul was lost. God’s Word came to pass exactly as it was spoken of by the angel. Wherever your at today its important to know that God’s Word will come to pass just exactly as He speaks to you! Don’t give up in the storm. Is the Bible guiding your life today? Psalm 119:105 “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” If your allowing God’s Word to be number one in your life, whether big storms or small, you will have victory through it all!
