The Kitchen Table Devotional
1 Corinthians 14 Day 1
Pursue love, yet desire earnestly spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy. 2 For one who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God; for no one understands, but in his spirit he speaks mysteries. 3 But one who prophesies speaks to men for edification and exhortation and consolation. 4 One who speaks in a tongue edifies himself; but one who prophesies edifies the church.
1 Corinthians 14:1-4
True love brings credibility and clarification with it. Once we’ve learned to submit to the love of God, God situates us to be the love of God in this world. Now all the gifts and the fruit and the power of the Holy Spirit are essential, not just electives. The presence of the Holy Spirit brings us the ability to know love and be God’s love in our world speaking and sharing God’s love with others.
