Acts 27:15 KJV
And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive.
Having not heeded the Apostle's warning they find themselves in perilous circumstances. Those whose lives were spent manipulating the wind and sea for their own purposes, those who deemed themselves experts in driving ships found themselves overpowered. They were forced to let go the ship and let the storm drive her wherever she pleased.
This passage, being often used as a type for life; it feels like our world is in such a storm right now and the so called experts
- Experts in education
- Experts in socialization
- Experts in politics
- Experts in world issues
- Experts in science
Have simply committed the ship to the storm to let her drive. The world is out of control. The downhill slope of degeneration is steeper now than it has ever been. Not America only but all the world is spinning into decay.
The good news is that, just as there was in that ship, there are a handful of people, however small the number, who still hear the voice if God and still see the path of salvation. In such dire circumstances Paul cheered the souls and calmed the fears of these powerless experts.
The Bible makes it clear that not everyone will make it safely to shore from this storm driven life. But everyone could be saved if they would only come to trust the wonderful Saviour, Jesus Christ.
