Acts 6: 1-7
We are all gifted. Some of us seem to have gotten in the
right line and received many more gifts than others, but the fact is, we have
all been blessed with the talents God intended for us. At what point we
discover, and put these talents to use is our choice.
1 Peter 10:4 As each has received a gift, use it to serve
one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace.
Matthew 5:16 In the same way, let your light shine before
others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who
is in heaven.
In today’s passage, seven men were chosen because they were
known to be “full of the spirit and wisdom.” They combined their energy and
together caused the number of disciples in Jerusalem to increase rapidly.
We do not have to be “full of the spirit and wisdom” to be a
warrior for Christ (though it might help). We simply need to
make ourselves aware of the grace of God, and what vehicle he has given us to
use as a means to serve Him, serve others, and bring honor and glory to Him.
In order to live a life of service, we are not required to
be missionaries, pastors, or elders. We must be who we are, growing where we
have been planted, and sharing the good news with a sincere heart.
“Let The Glory Of the Lord Shine Among Us!”
