Here’s your daily dose of what matters most!
God asks us to dedicate our time, abilities, and resources to His work rather than measure our lives by worldly success. We can consider what He has given us and choose one small way to use it today to serve someone or build His kingdom.
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.”—Dieter F. Uchtdorf, “Our Heartfelt All”
