Contemplation (verse 16)
Let us obey Paul: though we be in the midst of a tempest, we shall surely be freed from the dangers: though we remain without food fourteen days, though hope of safety may have left us, though we be in darkness and mist, by doing his bidding, we shall be freed from the dangers. Let us think that the whole world is a ship, and in this the evildoers and those who have numberless vices, some rulers, others guards, others just men, as Paul was, others prisoners, those bound by their sins: if then we do as Paul bids us, we perish not in our bonds, but are released from them: God will give us also to him
+ St John Chrysostom

Personal Reflection
The centurion ignored Paul’s advice and followed the advice of the ship owner and helmsman. This nearly resulted in all their deaths… How often do we do similar things…? Relying on our own opinions and ignoring the advice of God or His servants… 

Bible Knowledge Question
Why did the centurion stop the soldiers from killing all the prisoners?

Prayer
Lord please be with us during storms in our lives. And help us not to ignore Your voice in our lives.
