In this life, tasks usually are associated with your status or accomplishments. Fresh graduates are usually given simple tasks, some even no brainer or routinary. On the other hand, top executives are given critical tasks, decision making tasks that would greatly affect the company or organization.
However, this is mot the case with God's work. As we can see in the first reading, even the 'admin' tasks are given much importance.
“It is not right for us to neglect the word of God to serve at table.
Brothers, select from among you seven reputable men,
filled with the Spirit and wisdom,
whom we shall appoint to this task,
whereas we shall devote ourselves to prayer
and to the ministry of the word.”
Those who would do those things are people with great faith and spiritual maturity as well. The disciples did not just select random people to so those things. They did not say anyone can do them because what they do, which is to pray and spread the faith, is more important anyway. Any task, no matter how simple it may be in human eyes, is greatly important in the eyes of God. And we should be spiritually prepared as qell as we do those things.
Father God,
Thank you for today. Thank you for this weekend. Lord, i thank you for reminding me that no task is too simple for your work. May I always give importance to whatever task i may do for you, and prepare spiritually as i serve you in whatever way, however simple it may be. Amen.
