Deeper Consecration

There is a fullness of experience for every teacher to gain. The
studies you take will either strengthen your faith and confidence in
God, and teach you how to work as His helping hand, or they will
leave you in a worse condition than you were before. Those who
work out the principles that the Lord has given will stand on vantage
ground. The mercies and blessings of heaven will come into their
lives, enabling them to work out the will of God.
Teach the simple principles of the word of God, making the
Bible the foundation of your study. The true higher education is that
which is received by sitting at the feet of Jesus and learning of Him.
Let your character building be after the pattern revealed to man in
the life of Christ.
In all your work you must do as the husbandman does in laboring
for the fruits of the earth. Apparently he throws away the seed; but,
buried in the soil, the seed germinates. The power of the living God
gives it life and vitality, and there is seen “first the blade, then the ear,
after that the full corn in the ear.”
Mark 4:28
. Study this wonderful
process. Oh, there is so much to learn, so much to understand! If we
improve our minds to the utmost of our ability we shall through the
eternal ages continue to study the ways and works of God, and to
know more and more of Him.
