Incredible Voyage
Sometimes we find our lives tossed about like the ship in Acts 27. We stand in need
of undergirding, adjustments and have to cast off excessive weight and baggage that
is weighing us down. We may find ourselves wandering to and fro in the waves, with
no direction in our lives, in darkness and unsure of outcomes. We pray hardest during
those periods and yet it seems in the midst of the storm, our prayers go unanswered.
Setting the Scene. You recall from the previous chapters, Paul had been accused of
the Jews, tried and found innocent, yet he had previously appealed to Caesar, his right
as a Roman born citizen. That was not something that could be withdrawn, so he was
placed under guard and sent to Rome. Acts 27 starts with the beginning of that jour-
ney.
