Path to Destruction

Acts 27:9-11 
9 Now when much time had been spent, and sailing was now dangerous because the Fast was already over, Paul advised them, 10 saying, “Men, I perceive that this voyage will end with disaster and much loss, not only of the cargo and ship, but also our lives.” 11 Nevertheless the centurion was more persuaded by the helmsman and the owner of the ship than by the things spoken by Paul.

The weather turned worse as the seasons changed, yet the warning God gave Paul to the centurion in charge of the ship was not heeded.  He easily dismissed this Jew, this Christian, headed for trial, not knowing God's hand and Spirit on him with the wisdom to know disaster lay ahead on the present course.  So the Roman listened to the ship owner and driver rather than him.  Even now when God's people speak, many will continue on the path to destruction, sailing in a blind faith of human wisdom without foundation or merit.  But those led by God are on an even keel on a journey mapped out by God along the way.
