Delegation - It's Biblical

It never ceases to amaze me how much wisdom there is in the Bible.  Wisdom for all situations and all walks of life.

Years ago I was blessed to be able to mentor with a very successful person in my field.  As he looked at my business one of the things he said is "you have to stop washing windows".  What he was telling me was that I needed to delegate.

Now you might think that sounds like advice that would come from some modern business management book but look at this.

Acts 6:1-6(NKJV)

1Now in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplying, there arose a complaint against the Hebrews by the Hellenists,£ because their widows were neglected in the daily distribution. 

2Then the twelve summoned the multitude of the disciples and said, “It is not desirable that we should leave the word of God and serve tables. 

3Therefore, 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; 

4but we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”

5And the saying pleased the whole multitude. And they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, and Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas, a proselyte from Antioch, 

6whom they set before the apostles; and when they had prayed, they laid hands on them.

God gave us all different strengths and weaknesses.  What are these verses telling us?  Concentrate on doing the things we are good at and find others to do the things we are weak at but they are good at.
 

Sounds like delegating to me!  :)
