Today is Saturday, June 16, 2018. Hi, my name is Adam Burton, and you are listening to The Daily Devo, a short devotional designed to help you apply God's word to your life. The content comes from the Gospel Project. Take a few moments and read Acts, chapter 27, verses 13-44, and chapter 28 verses 11-16.
In March of 1909, construction began on a ship so large, so titanic, many believed God himself could not sink it. After three years of construction, the Irish achieved a colossal feat of engineering, and approximately 800 foot long, 50,000-ton monster held together by three million rivets, 29 steam boilers generated energy in the ship's belly to propel it from Southampton to New York City, and what would be record-breaking time? But another enormous object was forming in the waters off to relay at the same time. Around 11.30 pm, on April 14, 1912, the ship collided with a one-mile-long iceberg, mostly concealed underwater.
Two and a half hours later, the RMS titanic was on the ocean floor. Isn't it interesting how quickly our lives can come undone the same way? One minute our lives are smooth sailing. The next minute we collide full force with an iceberg of some form, and we find ourselves plunging into the murky depths wondering what happened.
While the icebergs of life often bring adversity and pain out of nowhere, they do have the remarkable ability to expose what we really value in life. Think about this. When have you or someone you know experienced life change in the blink of an eye? How can moments of adversity show us who or what we really trust and value?
If you are in need a prayer, please get in touch with me. I would love to pray for you. You can connect with me on social media or shoot me an email at adambertton.net. Oh, thank you.
