The Apostle Paul warned
the pilot and owner of the ship not to sail from Crete, but they did not heed
his advice. The ship was caught in a northeaster and battered for many days. When
the crew gave up all hope of being saved Paul said, “Last night
an angel of the God whose I am and whom I serve stood beside me and said, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand trial before
Caesar; and God has graciously given you the lives of all who sail with you’” (Acts 27:23-24 NIV). I’m now pondering the lives
of unbelievers who sail through life with me — co-workers, associates,
neighbors, acquaintances, etc. We believers may never know if we’ve ever saved
another person’s life, either physically or spiritually, but God is gracious to
let others sail with us.

I find it a bit frightening at times to look back on the example I have set and hope that the Holy Spirit is able to neutralize my foolishness.
Grace and peace.
Pumice,
Oh so true!
Not only frightening, but embarrassing and humbling as well.
