1 Corinthians 14: 1 Pursue love and strive for the spiritual gifts, and especially that you may prophesy.
Paul is comparing prophesying with speaking in tongues. He says that speaking in tongues is impressive to non-believers, but that prophesying is better, unless the words are interpreted for the church.
I am impressed by the fact that Paul puts prophesying up there with love. We all know that Jesus put love of our fellow men and worship of God as the only real requirements of faith. So prophesying is really important, and we should focus on hearing the voice of the Holy Spirit speaking within us.
Prayer: Lord, help me to hear Your voice speaking to me. Your will can be done when I recognize and act on it. I pray for Your will to be done, and I pray that I may discern it daily.
Amen
