Handling ourselves to God

HANDING OURSELVES TO GOD
When the Standard Oil Company began to refine petroleum, there was a black substance, a byproduct, that no one knew what to do with. It was black, sticky, stinking, it could be buried, not burned, and everyone complained of the all but endurable stench. If it were run into a stream, it would certainly kill all the fish in it. Therefore, the company offered a reward to anyone able to solve the problem.A great many chemists, attracted by the promised reward occupied themselves with the task of coming up with a solution. Finally, one chemist walked into the office of Mr Rockefeller with a white shining substance, free from every offensive quality and in fact extremely useful. It was what we know of today as paraffin, used for candles and hundreds of other useful purposes! Like the chemist in this incident,

often God takes the dirty, sticky, stinking parts of our lives and he renews and makes us whole and useful. All that is required of us is, like the Standard Oil Company, to hand over ourselves to God with all our weaknesses and failures!


Do you Know why are there only 60 seconds in a minute?A minute is a unit used to measure both time and angles. A circle was divided into 360 degrees by ancient civilizations, probably first, by the Babylonians who figured everything in units of 10’s and 60’s instead of 10’s and 100’s as we do. The degree was divided into 60 parts and each of these parts was divided into 60 parts. The Romans called the first division of the degree ‘the partes minutae primal’ or the first. The second division they called ‘the partes minutae secundaes’ or second small parts. These terms were finally shortened to minutes and seconds.
