Let All Things Be Done for Edification
--
The purposes of this prayer are: Glorify God/Worship, Guidance/Purpose and Wisdom.
God of Peace, Paul instructed the Corinthians on the proper way to conduct a worship service, and the proper use of their spiritual gifts within the worship service, writing, “What is the outcome then, brethren? When you assemble, each one has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification. If anyone speaks in a tongue, it should be by two or at the most by three, and each in turn, and one must interpret; but if there is no interpreter, he must keep silent in the church; and let him speak to himself and to God. Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others pass judgement. But if a revelation is made to another who is seated, the first one must keep silent. For you all can prophesy, one by one, so that all may learn and all may be exhorted; and the spirits of prophets are subject to prophets; for God is not a God of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.” 1 Corinthians 14:26–33 (NASB). Gracious God, as in the worship service, so let it also be in our everyday lives: let us provide edification for each other so we can all better glorify you, Father. We ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.
