8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. 1 Corinthians 13:8-10
This verse has been used by many theologians to prop up particular theological viewpoints regarding prophecies and tongues. The overall conclusion is that love doesn’t fail no matter the situation you are in. There will come a time here you will need to specifically choose love over all the other options. And it may be the most difficult option. Everything we’ve discussed in the past two weeks will come into play then.
Lord Jesus,
I pray for the person reading this who needs to hear this message. I have no idea who they are or where they live, but they’re in a tough situation. You know all the particulars and the ultimate outcome. I pray that this person will choose love above all. i don’t know what that means or what that looks like, but you certainly do. So I pray that you will meet them where they are and that they would let you work in their lives.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
