Good morning. Psalm 62: my
soul waits in silence for God only, for my hope is from Him. Too many times our
soul is in turmoil. We can't hear what God is saying because the cares of the
world are too loud. Even when our body is still our soul is not. He gives us

trust in You at all times. He/she can pour out his/her heart before You. He/she
will know beyond a shadow of a doubt what Your will is for him/her.

We will leave out the names of a bunch of places where they passed. They had sailed for a good many days and began to have trouble with the wind. This was a warning of what was about to happen. When considerable time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, since even the fast (Day of Atonement) was already over, Paul began to admonish them to not continue, because he perceived that not only would there be a loss of the cargo but also of their lives. The centurion was more persuaded by the pilot and the captain of the ship than by what was being said by Paul. They did not want to get stuck for the winter in the port where they were located. They actually were only g...
