## Resource

Today’s reading from Psalm 7–9 and Acts 18 invites us to notice how God forms His people through trust, shared responsibility, and the presence of others. Both passages show that faith develops over time as we learn to depend on God while receiving the support, wisdom, and encouragement He provides through community. In Psalms 7–9, David repeatedly turns to God as his refuge, defender, and righteous judge. This steady rhythm of prayer shapes his identity by teaching him to bring fear, opposition, gratitude, and praise before God rather than carrying those burdens alone or responding entirely from his own strength. In Acts 18, Paul, Priscilla, Aquila, and Apollos each respond to God’s calling through different gifts and responsibilities. Priscilla and Aquila help Apollos understand the way of God more accurately, and Apollos receives their guidance with enough humility to continue growing and become an even greater help to other believers. Together, these passages invite us to reflect on the people God has placed around us and the ways those relationships may be shaping our faith. They remind us that formation is deeply personal, but it was never intended to happen in isolation.
