Today's Reading June 23
Morning reading
Old Testament - Esther 7,8,9, and 10. This concludes the Book of Esther
Her obedience, and faith, and that of Mordecai, is amply rewarded. The plans of the evil to slaughter all the Jews are frustrated and they themselves are destroyed. This event is remembered even today in the Jewish festival of Purim. It was celebrated in our year 2007 on March 4th and will be celebrated in 2008 running from sunset March 20, 2008 to nightfall March 21, 2008.
Evening reading
Acts, chapter 6
Two main things here. The first is the establishment of the office of deacon, something that is with us today. The second is the early part of the events surrounding one of the first deacons, Stephen.
