Bishop Partridge Receives Consecration, by Albin Veselka. Courtesy of ChurchofJesusChrist.org.
Here’s your daily dose of what matters most! Living the law of consecration means giving our time, talents, and resources to help build the Lord’s kingdom. It’s about serving others and supporting the Church. Putting the Lord first in our lives, sharing what we can and helping where we’re needed, shows our love for God and our commitment to follow Him.
Scripture
“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”—Matthew 6:33
Quote
“Consecration is different from sacrifice in at least one important way. When we consecrate something, we don’t leave it to be consumed upon the altar. Rather, we put it to use in the Lord’s service. We dedicate it to Him and His holy purposes. We receive the talents that the Lord has given us and strive to increase them, manifold, to become even more helpful in building the Lord’s kingdom. Very few of us will ever be asked to sacrifice our lives for the Savior. But we are all invited to consecrate our lives to Him.”—Dieter F. Uchtdorf
