What Does Acts 28:13 Mean?
From Syracuse the ship circles around and reaches Rhegium on the toe of Italy. After a day, a south wind rises and carries them swiftly to Puteoli, a port near Naples, in just one more day.
The same God who once sent a tempest now sends a gentle wind to speed His servant on. When the timing is His, even the weather bends to carry His purposes forward. Paul has at last set foot on Italian soil, drawing near to the city where he will bear witness. The journey that began in chains and shipwreck now moves with surprising ease. Our God is sovereign over both the storm that delays and the wind that hastens, and all of it serves His unfolding plan.
