“Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church” (1 Corinthians 14:12).
Paul wanted believers to be excited in pursuing spiritual gifts. However, Paul desired that they seek ones that would really be a help to the whole church. Today’s verse admonishes us to be body builders. We’re always going to be a work in progress. We must continue to learn and grow as we use our spiritual gifts.

“But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him” (James 1:4-5).
