Paul gives courage during the storm

A violent storm drove the ship for many days until all hope seemed lost. Paul said an angel had assured him that he must stand before Caesar and that God would preserve everyone sailing with him; all 276 ate and took courage (Acts 27:13-38).

📖 Acts 27:13–15

13When a gentle south wind began to blow, they thought they had their opportunity. So they weighed anchor and sailed along, hugging the coast of Crete. 14But it was not long before a cyclone called the Northeaster swept down across the island. 15Unable to head into the wind, the ship was caught up. So we gave way and let ourselves be driven along.
