Acts 27

"He took bread and gave thanks to God in the presence of all, and he broke it and began to eat" (v35). Paul's actions remind us of holy communion- God's eternal provision. Eating during the Mediterranean storm was practical; they needed food to survive the journey. Yet Paul also ate to demonstrate that "I believe God, that it will turn out exactly as I have been told" (v25). His faith inspired the others, and "all of them were encouraged" (v36).

Wind and water raging around him, Paul believed that God would be faithful "exactly as I have been told."
