Week 5, Day 2
February 1, 2022 Scripture: Acts 6 In Acts 6, ministry to the widows was being overlooked by the disciples. They were trying to share the Word of God and the whole thing became too much. Folks who were in need were being overlooked in the distribution of food. So the disciples prayed for people who were Spirit-filled to oversee the ministry and care for people. One might, like myself, question why you would need the Spirit to distribute food. I mean, do the McDonald’s workers all need to be baptized to be good at their jobs? All kidding aside. The Spirit involved in the distribution of food reminds me of Christ giving thanks and breaking the bread and feeding the thousands. When the Spirit is involved, the people are truly filled. That’s the point: Spirit-filled people do more than distribute physical bread, they will bless the recipients with wisdom, mercy, and grace for the day. That’s true distribution of food, they offer the bread of life. Jesus, always give us this bread. Jordan
