“With dawn about to break, Paul called everyone together and proposed breakfast: ‘This is the fourteenth day we’ve gone without food. None of us has felt like eating! But I urge you to eat something now. You’ll need strength for the rescue ahead. You’re going to come out of this without even a scratch!’” (Acts 27:33-34, The Message)
They cannot see, they can barely hear, and they have endured a very traumatic ordeal. Since they were involved in a storm, food was scarce and everyone on board was near death from starvation. They have no energy to eat and feel beaten down and abandoned by God.
God did not intend for them to remain in the boat. But they had to go through the storm and the shipwreck in order to realize how strong they really were. The storm and the accident almost killed them but God had other plans. He had plans to use that storm and accident to propel them into their destiny.
