Our Sunken Treasure!
"Therefore take heart, men,
for I believe God that it will
be just as it was told
me."
Acts 27: 25
The dark floors of the world’s oceans are littered with
gold,
jewels, and treasures of immense value, cargos of
thousands
of ships that have perished through the
centuries.
Earlier this year, priceless objects were salvaged from
the
Mentor, which was loaded
with treasures from the Parthenon
when it sank off the coast of Greece in 1802.
The apostle Paul’s ship nearly sank in a terrific storm in the fall
of
A.D. 59, while Paul was being transported as a prisoner to
Rome.
The crew lost hope of being saved, but Paul had a word from
God,
and he believed God, that it would be just as He
said.
In the storms of life, we not only have a word from God;
we have the Word of
God. No matter what storms are
sent by Satan, there are His verses to keep us
afloat.
Acts 27:25 gives us one of the simplest definitions of faith in
the
Bible, believing that it will be just as God has told us in His
Word.
His promises are unsinkable, and they will always keep our
heads
above water.
"The Word of God is sure to give up its
treasures to prayerful, humble search."
M. Rhodes
