Event: The Choosing of Stephen
S - Scripture
Acts 6 v. 2-3 And the twelve summed the body of the disciples and said, 'It is not right that we should give up preaching the word of God to serve tables. Therefore, brethren, pick out from among you seven men of good repute, full of the spirit and wisdom, whom we may appoint for this duty.
O - Observation
The body of Christ. I love what these two verses say in regards to the body of Christ. Delegate. 1 Corinthians 12 v. 4-6, "Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same spirit, and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord, and there are varieties of working, but it is the same God who inspires the all in everyone." No one can do it all. That is why the disciples delegated. Each of them doing what they were called to do. In the disciples case, teaching and preaching. In case of the seven select - serving others. Both very important.
A - Application
Have I been delegated too? Am I willing to be delegated?
P - Prayer
Jesus, Delegate to me, and help me to delegate to others so that the whole body of Christ can be involved. Love Will
