June 22 | Trust God's Protection

Today’s reading from Esther 6-8 and Acts 6 invites us to reflect on God's protection and on how His care for His people often works long before we recognize it. Both passages remind us that spiritual formation grows through learning to trust God's presence and guidance even when circumstances seem uncertain or challenging.In Esther, the dramatic reversal surrounding Mordecai, Haman, and the king's signet ring reveals God's protective hand at work behind the scenes. What appeared to be a hopeless situation becomes a testimony of God's faithfulness as authority once used against God's people is transformed into a means of their preservation and defense.In Acts 6, the early church faces growing challenges as ministry expands and practical needs increase. Rather than allowing division or distraction to weaken the mission, the apostles respond with wisdom, prayer, and delegation, demonstrating how God's protection often comes through Spirit-led leadership, unity, and faithful service within the body of Christ.Together, these passages invite us to notice where God may be working in ways we cannot yet see. They encourage us to reflect on how trust is formed over time as we learn to rest in God's protection, remain faithful in our calling, and remember that His purposes are often unfolding even when the full picture remains hidden.
