Paul was a prisoner on a ship caught in a hurricane-strength wind called a "Northeaster." The storm raged for days, and the crew lost all hope of being saved.
As the ship was breaking apart, some of the sailors tried to sneak off in the lifeboat. Paul warned the centurion, "Unless these men stay with the ship, you cannot be saved.
They had to stick together and stay on the battered vessel. Even though the ship eventually ran aground and broke to pieces, every single person who stayed with the ship made it safely to shore.
The storm may shake the ship, but don’t jump into the sea.
Stay where God placed you.
Stay covered.
Stay connected.
Stay with the church.
For “except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.” - Acts 27:31
