April 23rd, 2023: Consecration

What is faith without consecration?

It might not be a worthwhile consideration.

What is creativity without consecration?

We might replace beauty with defamation.

What is reflective thought without consecration?

It might be a wandering journey toward self-condemnation.

What is revelation without consecration?

It has no depth because of its self-absorption.

What is hope without consecration?

It might just be an expression of self-preservation.

What is love without consecration?

It can be our emotional speculation.

(Consecration is our dedication to both services and worship of God)

"I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship." - Romans 12: 1

"Then Joshua said to the people, "Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you." - Joshua 3: 5
