More begats: 1 Chronicles 7:1-8:40
Stormy sailing: Acts 27:1-20
God is a righteous judge: Psalm 7:1-17
Finding a honey is finding God’s favor: Proverbs 18:22
Have you noticed the person of Acts in these chapters? It was written by Dr. Luke, but these chapters are in 1st person. He uses words like “we” when talking about who sailed to Italy, boarded the ship, and lost hope of being saved by the storm.
The point is that Paul was not going through this alone. The Holy Spirit was guiding Paul to allow him to ultimately witness to the emperor of Rome, but it was not an easy road. And Paul had Christian friends along with him to support him, even when Paul was in chains like a criminal.
We need to further God’s kingdom with a no-matter-the-cost kind of philosophy, and encourage each other Christians who do the same.

God wants us to know that we are never alone, we have God himself and the love of our fellow brothers and sisters.
