1. Who is travelling on this ship to Italy and why (watch this Bible Project video for background)?
2. What does the ship encounter on the way to Rome (verse 4)?

Respond
After his conversion, Paul’s life is marked by faithful service and obedience to God. And yet, Paul often finds himself in the midst of very difficult circumstances. As 2020 comes to a close, can you identify with Paul? Take some time to reflect on the year. Where have you encountered strong headwinds, making it difficult to keep your ship on course? Acknowledge to God any feelings of bitterness, grief, or anger you’ve experienced and talk to Him about those! He wants to hear from you and walk alongside you as you move through them.
