Paul in the Storm

The apostle Paul was a prisoner on a ship caught in a fierce storm for fourteen days. The sailors lost all hope. Paul stood up and said, "God has sent an angel to tell me that not one of you will be lost. Keep your courage, men." He took bread, gave thanks to God, and ate. His courage lifted the entire crew. They survived the shipwreck and Paul continued his mission. Courage is contagious—your faith can give hope to others in crisis.
