When Enemies Plot, God Protects

When more than forty men bind themselves with an oath to neither eat nor drink until they kill you, humanly speaking, you're in serious trouble. Paul faced exactly this scenario when Jewish conspirators plotted his assassination in Jerusalem, creating what appeared to be an impossible situation with no way out. Yet in this desperate hour, a series of unexpected events began to unfold that would demonstrate something remarkable about how God works in the lives of His people.

This passage invites us to examine closely how divine protection operates in the midst of very real, very dangerous circumstances—and what our role should be when we find ourselves facing threats that seem overwhelming.
