Sometimes, we must rest our faith on others

So take heart men, I have faith in God that it will be exactly as I have been told.(Acts 27:25)

Paul already had warned the Pilot, Centurion, and crew members not to sail to Crete, but they failed to listen. The consequences became devastating, so much so, that all was lost except lives.
At this point in the narrative, Paul is not able to visit synagogues, nor is he able to stir up any Jewish assembly with the truth. One might think that he is in some kind of limbo state of ministry, sitting instead of preaching, resting instead of laboring. Not so however. Just because there are times of pause, it does not mean that God is not moving on your behalf. Paul the evangelist, preacher, testifier, now becomes a prophet, foretelling the dangers ahead with divine wisdom.

It takes great faith to walk with the Jesus. It takes a perpetual faith. A faith that has the potential to move mountains, uproot trees, heal the sick, sustain us in darkness and give to others when fear and doubt abound.

R Kent Hughes tells the story of not having the faith once to continue with what God had asked him and his family to do. He had become nearly paralyzed by his circumstances; and felt as if he could go no further. Whatever had been going on in their lives had taken a hard toll on this man of God, and, in his fragile state, he began to doubt.
Then his wonderful bride, a woman of substance and grace spoke to him in that moment of desperation saying, “Hold on to my faith-we will get through this!”
Mrs. Hughes had just enough faith to keep them sustained. Certainly, it was not her faith that was humanly produced or manufactured, but a gift given to her at the precise moment of time, and, she was able to share the gift with her husband.

First call out to the Lord and He will save you- trust in His Word, and not on any person, place, or object. While this process is taking place, find a brother or sister whom you can link arms with, who just may have enough sustainable strength for the both of you, and together you can share your dependency upon God ‘side by side’. You will make it to Heaven. This is true Christian community at it’s best.
