Today’s Scripture

“When daylight came, the sailors didn’t recognize the land, but they noticed a cove with a sandy beach, so they decided to run the ship ashore. They cut away the anchors, leaving them in the sea, untied the ropes holding the rudders, and hoisted the foresail to the breeze to head for the beach. But they drifted into the rocky shoals between two depths of the sea, causing the ship to flounder still a distance from shore. The bow was stuck fast, jammed on the rocks, while the stern was being smashed by the pounding of the surf. The soldiers wanted to kill all the prisoners to prevent them from escaping. But the Roman officer was determined to bring Paul safely through, so he foiled their attempts. He commanded the prisoners and crew who could swim to jump overboard and swim ashore. The rest all managed to survive by clinging to planks and broken pieces of the ship, so that everyone scrambled to the shore uninjured.” 

Acts 27:39-44

Today’s Thought

When it looks like things aren’t working out just remember this… Sometimes when it seems like your ship has fallen apart, you can and will survive by clinging onto the broken pieces of life… Let God create the mosaic of your life through His faithfulness.

Today’s Confession

Father, sometimes circumstances look too hard for me to bear, and when it does, help me to remember you are always with me and I can lean on you. Your Word will always give me a truth to hold onto. Your love, your Word and your faithfulness will always create a work of art.
