“Consecration, doing things ‘unto the Lord,’ is both an attitude and an action. When we consecrate ourselves, we consciously reaffirm that our works are for His glory and not ours. We ‘confess . . . his hand in all’ our work. We dedicate our talents, including our intellectual skills, to the building up of His kingdom. We ask to be used by Him. There is in the process of consecration a pledge and a petition: we dedicate our talents and our lives to God and pray that He will bless each of our mortal efforts to good effect and use in His cause. When we consecrate our learning, we ask not only to be ‘ever learning’ but also to come to ‘the knowledge of the truth’ (2 Tim. 3:7 Women of that kind are forever following new teachers, but they never understand the truth.))." - Henry B. Eyring

Thank you Heavenly Father for the oportunities you afford me in life. You know our needs and you are faithful in taking care of us. Thank you for the opportunity to test for this job. I will do my best and let you do the rest. In Jesus name I pray. Amen

THE BUZZARD:

If you put a buzzard in a pen that is 6 feet by 8 feet and

is entirely open at the top, the bird, in spite of its

ability to fly, will be an absolute prisoner. The reason is

that a buzzard always begins a flight from the ground with a

run of 10 to 12 feet. Without space to run, as is its habit,

it will not even attempt to fly, but will remain a prisoner

for life in a small jail with no top.

THE BAT:

The ordinary bat that flies around at night, a remarkable

nimble creature in the air, cannot take off from a level

place.. If it is placed on the floor or flat ground, all it

can do is shuffle about helplessly and, no doubt, painfully,

until it reaches some slight elevation from which it can

throw itself into the air. Then, at once, it takes off like

a flash.

THE BUMBLEBEE:

A bumblebee, if dropped into an open tumbler, will be there

until it dies, unless it is taken out. It never sees the

means of escape at the top, but persists in trying to find

some way out through the sides near the bottom. It will

seek a way where none exists, until it completely destroys

itself.

PEOPLE:

In many ways, we are like the buzzard, the bat, and the

bumblebee. We struggle about with all our problems and

frustrations, never realizing that all we have to do is lookup!

That's the answer, the escape route and the solution

to any problem!

Just look up,

for FAITH looks up!
