1 Corinthians 15:58 ESV
Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of
the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.
the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.
As I sat in my home on Labor Day I thought about those that that don't always have Labor Day off, and today's scripture from 1 Corinthians came to mind. As we have a day to celebrate labor, we must remember that true labor never really takes a day off. Many of us know people that work jobs that have to work on holidays and weekends, because the labors of their chosen profession never stop.
But unstoppable labor is more then celebrating those that have to work on holidays. Unstoppable labor is when we do for others instead of ourselves, when it is done in the name of the Lord.
Could you imagine if the fire department refused to come to us when our home was on fire because it was their day off, or the police department refused to come when needed? Beloved, God does not take a day off and we as is people serving a suffering world do not take a day off from Christianity.
My prayer for you this day is that we all understand that laboring for God is an unending job, that pays eternal dividends.
This is the day that the Lord has made.
