Acts 27 & 28
What an adventure at sea!!!
Gone are the religious arguments and rhetoric, the defense of the faith on the grounds of scripture, tradition, law and prohesy. Here at this time faith is relationship with God in midst of traumatic life. Faith is seen in the courage, trust, bold action, encouragement and peace in the middle of the storm and raging sea. God is good all the time – God’s promises aren’t just for the Temple and Courts (religion and politics) but for all of life – particularly in the times of Chaos. Malta miracles happen and God makes the way for God’s purposes to be fulfilled. God’s goodness is good for all.
Against the winds, in face of enemies, bitten by a poisonous snake, and shipwrecked…God remains faithful and sees God’s plans come about. [Prayer - LORD, may I trust in you in the midst of chaos in life. Amen]
