I used a quote from Mark Batterson in yesterday’s post “We want to do amazing things. That’s not our job. Our job is to consecrate ourselves. Then God will do amazing things among us.” If you missed it check out the other great things Mark has said at https://jelillie.wordpress.com/2012/11/09/quotes-pt-22/?preview=true
It strikes me that one reason we don’t want to consecrate ourselves is because anyone can do it. Surely if Samuel as a child could do it then it stands to reason that you and I can do it with or without our talents, abilities and certainly without our pride…Ahh there it is. Consecration means putting aside our pride. Here is what else I see in today’s chapters.

“Being Blind In the Flesh and the Spirit” the sad part so many people are blinded these days. Lord, I pray that you will open their eyes. I also like “The Blind Man’s Focus”. You have some powerful topics, Pastor J. Here’s what I saw in these chapters.
