Practical Wisdom

Acts 6:5-7

This proposal pleased the whole group. They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit; also Philip, Procorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas from Antioch, a convert to Judaism. They presented these men to the apostles, who prayed and laid their hands on them. So the word of God spread. The number of disciples in Jerusalem increased rapidly, and a large number of priests became obedient to the faith. (NIVUK)

Wisdom discerns the right conclusion, and the best way to achieve it. The apostles were faced with many human needs, and the believers wanted to help one another; but it was a massive task to coordinate it all. The Greek-speaking widows had been neglected in the daily distribution of food, compared to the Jewish widows, which added to the problem (Acts 6:1). So, the apostles appointed seven men with Greek names; all believers in Jesus, with a reputation for being wisely practical.
