Acts 6

Therefore, brethren, seek out from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business;   but we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.” vv.3-4

Read chapter 6
Whenever someone says "the 12" when talking about scripture it's easy to think of Jesus' 12 disciples, but what about when you hear of "the 7."  Just as we see in the gospels when the twelve were chosen and then follow them over the years of the wisdom, signs and wonders they did, so we see here the beginning of the seven being called and will see throughout the book of Acts the many signs, wonders, wisdom of these men.  We see this set up in other places of scripture of leaders making other leaders when the task at hand is too big or burdensome to other parts of ministry.  For example, Moses appointed the 100 who were given Divine wisdom to govern the Israelites.  So here, it's not just any men but ones filled with the Holy Spirit.  My job gest easier when I delegate and sometimes it's hard to delegate and let go, but oh when I do I'm able to really focus on other matters.
