Judges 10
We are so fickle. We as people are constantly turning to other gods to meet our desires or needs. The Lord is a forgiving God, but there comes a time when He says, “No more. I will no longer forgive.” There is a line that is drawn somewhere. We cannot cross that line. If there were not a line, He would not be glorious. But there is a line, and we must be careful not to cross it or crowd it. Indeed we serve a glorious King. Speak His glory to someone today!

Acts 27:27-44
Wow, 276 persons on this ship! That is a big ship. The soldiers' (plural) plan was to kill the prisoners, but the centurion prevented them. Do you suppose the whole unit was going home--all 100? FF Bruce suggests that Julius was a centurion assigned to oversee the shipping of grain to troops. That would explain the ship going from Alexandria to Rome and all of the presence of the grain. The details are not certain, but this is certain: 276 persons go down with the ship, and not one lost his life as the Lord promised. Now there is glory in that! The Lord took them through the shipwreck. He will take us through our storms as well. And if we permit Him, He will show His glory in the process. Indeed we serve a glorious King! Speak His glory to someone today!
