STAY IN THE SHIP FOR SALVATION

When a severe storm comes in life and others with different faiths seem to threaten the plan for the Church - the Body of Christ, Divine Ship, and Ark of Salvation - members with weak or wavering faith may have to be stopped from fleeing (Matt. 14:30-31, Eph. 4:14). Only those who stay eagerly watchful, waiting faithfully as they sail in God's ship, and united in trying times, will remain when He comes with eternal salvation (Matt. 24:13, Heb. 9:28).
No matter how terrifying life's storms can be, the safest place is exactly where God has placed you, so, "lengthen your ropes and drive your stakes in deep (Isa. 54:2)."
Leaving the ship too soon can lead to spiritual peril, but staying committed to the Word, brings you safely to shore (Col. 1:23, 1 Tim. 1:19, Heb. 10:23).

PRAYER: Dear LORD, my strength and salvation, thank You for Your redeeming grace, guidance, and protection, which keeps my faith strengthened and spirit bold in difficulties. Please keep me faithful, even through long nights, with the comfort of Your Word and the presence of the Holy Spirit, to sail to the end; in Jesus' Name,
Amen.

From Acts 27:31-32
