It would make one riveting adventure movie. Paul's boat trip to Italy probably seemed like a lifetime of thrills and finally spills.
He had warned them not to go on to western Crete. He had said, "Men, I perceive that the voyage will certainly be with damage and great loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives." But the soldier in charge "was more persuaded by the pilot and the captain of the ship than by what was being said by Paul". (Acts 27:1-12)
Besides, their harbor was "not suitable" for wintering there!
How often do we make decisions based on what seems good in our own eyes. Over and over the Lord reminds up that He will "instruct us and teach us in the say that we should go". (Psalm 32:8)
Lord, help us to remember to look to You to direct our ways.
