Ever Forward did not live up to its name. The ship got stuck in mud. People tried 2 times to move it. Ever Forward did not budge.

Workers made the load lighter. God sent a full Moon and high tide. The ship sails again!

Pray: Countries around the world depend on the goods carried on huge cargo ships. Pray for the safety of all who work on these vessels.

Read More: Ever Forward is a container ship. It is as long as three football fields. It moves goods from one place to another. The ship had a big load in March. It was sailing from Baltimore, Maryland, to Norfolk, Virginia. The ship ran aground in the muddy bottom of Chesapeake Bay. It stayed stuck for more than a month. But it did not block other ships. The Apostle Paul was on his way to Rome to stand trial. Acts 27 tells of storms and the wreck of the ship he traveled on. God saved every person on that ship.
