The word for today is- Storms !

Good morning,
The word for today is- Storms !
 We find ourselves in the midst of storms, in life. But, we know that's the way life is, we can read of such a storm in the life of the Apostle Paul, read Act 27:21-26, But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss. And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man's life among you, but of the ship. For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve, Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee. Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me. Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island.The sailors on Paul's ship took some actions that made things worse. We tend to do some of these same things when we find ourselves in a storm. There are storms we're dragged into by other people. That's where we find the Apostle Paul. He was a prisoner who had tried to warn them! But they wouldn't listen so he was dragged into his storm by others. Some people will follow the crowd,sometimes the crowd is going the wrong way. Paul believed in God and could say, "Be of good cheer," even in the midst of his storm. You can rely on the same God, who brought him through the storm. This means to put your faith in God and His Word.  Paul’s unshakable confidence in God made him a leader among many people, even though he was a prisoner of Rome.Paul used his belief to strengthen the hearts of others.So, through the storm of life trust God, He will bring you through it. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
