Stay With The Lord

Acts 27:31 "Paul said to the centurion and to the soilders,Except these abide in the ship ye cannot be saved."

This journey we have begun will be filled with lifes ups and downs.There are going to be storms in our life which will shake our very foundation of our being.This mean old world is going to throw things at us that will cause us to question the who, what ,and why of our life.We may even get to the point where we begin to question and doubt the will and ability of God,thinking we need to jump ship.But Jesus said "be of good cheer for I have over come the world."

Our text today lets us know the benefit of staying with the Lord.Even when life throws all it has at you to where you see the world around you falling apart it is still safer to stay the course with the Lord than it is to abandon His care.Now there are some things you will have to do to make it through the times of trials and tribulations.See Paul told them to break fast and eat to thier full.Paul knew they would need strength to withstand that which was before them. We to need to eat when the storms of life come.We need to feast on the promises of God's word for strength and encouragement having done all to stand,we must stand in the full armour of God.He also had them throw some things off the ship to lighten up the load.There are somethings and some people in our life we need to let go of and throw away. Many of us are carring around some stuff and have been holding on to some things way.

Paul faced the raging sea around him with the faith that God would do just what He said He would do,and that was the anchor Paul held on to survive.Stay with the Lord ,He is peace in the time of a storm.
