Acts 27:34-38
34 Therefore I urge you to take nourishment, for this is for your survival, since not a hair will fall from the head of any of you.” 35 And when he had said these things, he took bread and gave thanks to God in the presence of them all; and when he had broken it he began to eat. 36 Then they were all encouraged, and also took food themselves. 37 And in all we were two hundred and seventy-six persons on the ship. 38 So when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship and threw out the wheat into the sea.
Paul old everyone to eat before throwing the last food overboard, promising none would die if they did as God instructed. So he gave thanks in breaking bread (communion), encouraging the other 275 to to the same. So we can also encourage others by our partaking in and trusting in our Lord and God, Jesus Christ when the storms and floods of life arise.
