Acts 6:2
“And the twelve summoned the full number of the disciples and said, “It is not right that we should give up preaching the word of God to serve tables.”
The problem: a certain number of the widows were not given food in the distribution time. This is a real problem, needing a solution. The disciples gather all the disciples together and start coming up with the spiritual and practical solution. People not eating, and not getting food, is a real problem that needs to be fixed quickly, but the apostles prioritize the spiritual over the physical.
Seek first
The Kingdom of God
And everything else
Will be added to you
The apostles prioritize preaching God’s Word to be first for the church, AND at the same time make sure the basic needs of people are met through serving tables well, and thoroughly thought out. Father God, thank You for making clear the priority of seeking Your Kingdom first, and that, then You will provide everything else. Help me to seek You and Your Kingdom first, and allow You to add the rest in as You see fit, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
ACTION: Seek FIRST the Kingdom of God
