—Acts 6:1-8

It is exciting to see increases in the church! But when this happens there are often growing pains. In the early church, neglecting some widows was this pain. The Twelve knew this duty was important, but also knew their priorities were elsewhere. Instead of trying to take on extra work, or leaving the dissension in the church to fester, they appointed seven men. Through prayer the seven were called to fulfill this important task. As our church ministries grow, let us recognize where we need help and be willing to give tasks to others that we may focus on the specific work Christ has set before each one of us.
