ORDER OUT OF CONFUSION

1 Corinthians 14:1-12

Dear Father, God of intelligibility and peace,

Thank you for reversing the curse of Babel when you poured out
your Holy Spirit on believers in Jerusalem on the Day of Pentecost.

Even in the confusion of many tongues you proclaimed your Good
News to every tribe and nation under heaven, with every person
hearing it in his or her own language.

Thank you too for the gift of prophecy in the common language,
believers speaking to one another for their mutual encouragement
and consolation, a gift greater than tongues (unless the unknown
language is interpreted), because understandable speech builds up
your church.

Help us to manifest your Spirit in all things. Help us to strive
zealously for whatever builds up the church.

In submission to you and in Jesus' name, I ask. Amen.
