Our Scripture today is Acts 27:23-25
Standing on a ship, in the middle of a storm, Paul spoke to scared sailors. He said, “Last night an angel of the God whose I am and whom I serve stood beside me and said, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand trial before Caesar; and God has graciously given you the lives of all who sail with you.’ So keep up your courage, men, for I have faith in God that it will happen just as he told me.”
In 1939, the Nazis were invading the Netherlands. The first people to be affected were the Jews who lived in the Netherlands. A group of Christians came to the Dutch theologian, Henry Cramer, and told him, “Our Jewish neighbors are missing from their homes.” They then asked, “What must we do?”
Cramer answered, “I cannot tell you what to do. I can tell you who you are. If you know who you are then you will know what to do.”
Listen to those words again, “If you know who you are, then you will know what to do.”
When Satan sends temptations, you do not need to ask what to do. You only need to remember who you are.
Paul said, “I know who I am and whose I am.” Since he knew these things, he knew what to do. So should we, always!
