Some went off to sea in ships,
plying the trade routes of the world.
They, too, observed the LORD’s power in action,
his impressive works on the deepest seas...
Let them praise the LORD for his great love
and for the wonderful things he has done for them.
ACTS 28:1-2 (NLT)
Once we were safe on shore, we learned that we were on the island of Malta. The people of the island were very kind to us. It was cold and rainy, so they built a fire on the shore to welcome us.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
The Lord takes care of his people even in the wildest of places.

PRAYER
Lord, make my life a Malta landing. So many people are adrift in this world, looking for a safe place to land. Cruel winds and unruly passengers crowd them to the edges of life. Make ma a harbor of hope or a vessel of kindness. Let your steadfast love burn brightly in my actions to welcome the weary. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you would protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
