“And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.”
Colossians 3:23-24
Be Informed.
As Labor Day approaches, it’s a fitting time to reflect on the value of work in our lives. The holiday, often viewed as a last summer celebration or a break from our routines, offers an opportunity to consider the deeper, spiritual significance of our work here on earth.
Work can often feel like a relentless cycle of tasks and responsibilities. Yet, when we align our efforts with God’s will, our labor gains eternal significance. Proverbs 16:3 says, “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.”
By dedicating our work to God, we invite His presence into our daily activities, infusing them with purpose and meaning.
Billy Graham once said, “But Labor Day, I believe, should also be a time when we ask God to help us see our work from His point of view. Let’s be honest; work isn’t always exciting, and when we focus only on its problems or spend our time wishing we were doing something else, we’ll probably end up resentful, angry, or bored. But when we begin to see our work from God’s point of view, our attitude will be much different. We’ll begin to realize that God gave our work to us, and because of this, it has dignity and importance.”
This Labor Day, we pray that you find rest in Christ.
Have a wonderful Labor Day.
Remember, whatever you do, do it as unto the Lord.
And remember to join me live on the radio today.

Be Blessed. Be Prayerful.
