The Oil of Consecreation

Thus shall they prepare...the oil, every morning for a continual burnt offering  Ezekiel 46:15

All your ministry must be blessed by the oil of consecration. Not one thing can be withheld.  That which is most precious must be daily offered in dedication.  anything which is unworthy or evil must be given to Me so that it may be taken away; but the pure and good must be given to Me also, so that you may be continually freed from clasping it to yourself.  Anything you grasp becomes a burden. Give all to Me in a daily morning offering.

I have mentioned this before, but again this morning the same thoughts are coming to me.  It is from a booklet  "My Heart Christ Home"  That story is about our body being like a house, and that God wants to live in every room, is there some room, or something about our life that we want to keep away from God?  Kind of like a hidden closet....So everything we do must be blest by God, if there is something we are doing that isn't blest by God, why?  Is it something we aren't willing to give to God?  Is it something he would not be happy about in our life?  If we truly want to be God's vessel it means giving it to him, and allowing him to  do with it what he desires.

Yesterday, was beautiful, we have about 50 people here, some new ones have come, so at each meal I see new faces, and then some have to leave.  Katrice Thompson and Mark Henke are here and it is good to see both of them.  I am blest to see the young people that desire to be counselors, it shows their commitment to seeing lives changed.  We had good meals, a roast pork dinner, and pizza for supper.  I did manage a nap and we also did some rug shampooing.  The young people did a lot of cleaning and work in the afternoon, so it is starting to appear more ready for camp to start.
