This chapter reads more like a suspense thriller. There's so much detial to it, that I felt like I was reading a novel.
I find it very striking how calm Paul is. Yeah, he has the dream that tells him he will survive, but still. When the storm is RAGING around me, I might be tempted to think the dream was all in my head. That's probably the difference between Paul and me. He holds steadfast to his relationship with God, no matter what the circumstance is, and I tend to question.....maybe even questioning myself rather than God.
Just in case you are like me, and didn't know exactly where the Adriatic Sea is......its on the back side of the "boot" of Italy. Its big, but to blow around for 14 days without knowing where you are......it must have been a really big storm.
Paul's faith is amazing. And it all stems from one encounter with God. Good lesson to be learned.
I'm glad your prayer life is moving along in a good direction. Mine isn't yet. I have found time here and there, but nothing consistent. That's the key for me.....finding a timeslot that works consistently.
peace
It does feel like a novel! I'm enjoying it. I'm doing prayer time right after our chapter but of course I'm at home not work like you
