One Anchor

Scripture Reading: Acts 27:24-29 (TLV)

24 He said, ‘Do not fear, Paul. You must stand before Caesar; and indeed, God has granted you all who are sailing with you.’

25 So take heart, men, for I trust God that it will be exactly as I have been told.

26 But we must run aground on some island.”

27 Now when the fourteenth night had come, as we were drifting across the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors began to sense that they were nearing some land.

28 So they took soundings and found the water was twenty fathoms deep. A bit farther along, they took another sounding and found it was fifteen fathoms deep.

29 Fearing that we might run aground on the rocks, they threw out four anchors from the stern. They were longing for day to come.
