Shattering Ship

“Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, “Unless these men stay in the ship, you cannot be saved.” Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the skiff and let it fall off.”
‭‭Acts‬ ‭27:31-32‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Although self-help does not always appear as selfishness to an insecure person, it often attract the compromise of the general system security. Truthfully, it is hard for anyone or an insecure fellow to abide in the fellowship of stranded travellers on a shattering ship. And after the sailors scientifically confirmed that the ship is approaching the land, the only thought suggested by their fear is the near-crashing of ship on the cliff of a rock. It implies that fear evaporated the inspired word of comfort and consolation from Paul; it presented the possibility of a selfish-survival by jumping into the Adriatic Sea; and then justified the wickedness of abandoning about 276 souls in a ship without sailors. Whereas, it was the stay-on-the-ship enforcement of the centurion and the soldiers on the shattering ship that prevented the suicide attempts of the sailors. Insecurity is not just a dangerous disease toward self-destruction; it is a subtle explosive and a weapon for a mass destruction of the purpose of God. But faith in the promises of God can wait patiently, even on a deferred hope of progress and prosperity, in a shattering ship (i.e., dreams, projects, relationships, vision, etc).
