If I took off flying at dawn, stopping to rest when I got to the darkness on the other side of the world—even there your firm hand would be guiding, protecting, and caring for me without wavering.
ACTS 27:23-25 (MSG)
"Last night God’s angel stood at my side, an angel of this God I serve, saying to me, ‘Don’t give up, Paul. You’re going to stand before Caesar yet—and everyone sailing with you is also going to make it.’ So, dear friends, take heart. I believe God will do exactly what he told me...."
