In our study last week, we last saw the Apostle Paul in the midst of an extremely dangerous situation—the ship he was on had been driven by a tropical cyclone across the Mediterranean. For fourteen days, the passengers and crew had no idea what their heading had been or where they were. The experienced seamen on board realized that they were nearing a land mass of some form. Trusting in what Paul had said concerning the deliverance that his God had promised to all who stayed with Paul on the ship, they all took a moment to eat something in order to be strengthened and encouraged for the events that were about to happen.
