Sunday Thought

“That’s not fair!” –if you are a parent, then you probably have heard this more times than you care to remember. A lot of times we end up saying things like “that’s too bad!” or “who said life was fair?” But there are times in life when things are not fair and we should take time to make things right.

In the sixth chapter of the book of Acts, things were not fair. The Greek Jews complained against the Hebraic Jews saying that their widows were being overlooked in the distribution of food. Things were not fair, and people were being hurt. Instead of brushing it off, the Apostles thought and prayed about it and came up with a solution to make things fair. They chose seven men full of faith and of the Holy Spirit.

The result? Not only was the problem resolved, but the word of God spread and they were looked upon favorably. Sometimes it pays to make things fair!
