Acts 27:30-33
30 And as the sailors were seeking to escape from the ship, when they had let down the skiff into the sea, under pretense of putting out anchors from the prow, 31 Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, “Unless these men stay in the ship, you cannot be saved.” 32 Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the skiff and let it fall off. 33 And as day was about to dawn, Paul implored them all to take food, saying, “Today is the fourteenth day you have waited and continued without food, and eaten nothing.
Some tried to steal away in the lifeboat to escape the raging sea and howling winds, but God used Paul to tell them their only hope was to ride out the storm together, eating for nourishment and strength. So we find rescue in God's plan, holding to Him and finding our sustenance in the bread of life, Jesus Christ. If we try to escape the storm of judgment or trials on our own efforts, we are capsized and drown in sorrows. He alone is deliverance.
