Cael yr apDaily Bible Reading – May 2021 God’s Word of Spiritual RenewalSampl
May 6
Introduction
In today’s reading, the apostle Paul discusses glossolalia, speaking in tongues. Paul argues in favor of prophecy (proclaiming God’s message) because prophecy edifies the community and serves the common good.
Today’s Scripture Reading: 1 Corinthians 14:1-25
Today’s Key Verse: 1 Corinthians 14:3
Those who proclaim God’s message speak to people and give them help, encouragement, and comfort.
Reflect
What does Paul say about those who speak in strange tongues? Reread verse 5. Do you agree with Paul that “the person who proclaims God’s message is of greater value than the one who speaks in strange tongues”? Why or why not? Wherein is the value of speaking in tongues (see verses 5b, 13)? In what ways are your spiritual gifts used to build up the church?
Pray
Lord God, I am eager to have the gifts of the Spirit. Teach me how to use those gifts to build up your holy church. Guide my words and actions this day so that I may be a source of help, encouragement, and comfort to others. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Those in need of encouragement and comfort
Tomorrow’s Reading
