Charles Spurgeon Commentary Acts 27:29

"And fearing lest haply we should be cast ashore on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for the day." — Acts 27:29 (ASV)

Then they wished for the day, "and how often the Christian throws his great anchor out, and wishes for the day, – waiting till the day break, and the shadows flee away." Well, it will not be long. If night lasts through the whole of this life, the morning comes, – the everlasting morning.
