*A DEDICATED LIFE*
**‘One shall say, I am the Lord’s.’**
** [Isaiah 44:5](../../../kjv/isaiah/44/5)**
****I. The great secret of true living is, first, to give life a focus, and then to take care that that focus is high enough.**—Most lives are weak because they have not one distinct aim.
**II. Now the question is, Is my life a dedicated thing?**—In theory, I recognise it. Now and then I feel it. Sometimes I think I do and say something which may be said to be for God. But *could I* call my life a dedicated thing? dedicated to God! *Where is the dedication?* We need to be re-dedicated. Far better were it to have never been dedicated, than, after dedication, to revert again to profane and worldly uses!
—Rev. Jas. Vaughan.
