Your ‘Euroclydon’ - All The Word for Today Daily Devotionals for 2026

‘A tempestuous head wind arose, called Euroclydon.' Acts 27:14 NKJV

The ship Paul was sailing on to Rome was wrecked by a storm named Euroclydon, meaning typhoon, tempest or cyclone. Here are some valuable lessons we can learn from his experience.

(1) God can make a bad situation work for your good. Because of this shipwreck, Paul ended up on Malta, where the people heard the Gospel for the first time. Plus, when he and his followers ‘departed, they provided such things as were necessary.' ( NIV) In hard times you discover the strength of your connection to God.

(4) He can bring success from what looks like failure. Notice two particular things in this story: (a) You may have to throw some things overboard to reach your destination (see v. 18). (b) Despite your best efforts, occasionally you'll run aground (see v. 26). That's when you must remember what God promised you—and stand on it (see v. 25).
