Steadfast Labor

No Comments

For those who say “Yes,” from ushers to Bible teachers, overload comes because we are humans with physical limitations. We often encourage each other with “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not,” (Galatians 6:9, King James Version). These may be empty words to the ones who have fallen from carrying the load of constant volunteerism. Apostle Paul gave the Corinthian congregation a stronger motive.

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. (1 Corinthians 15:58, Holy Bible, New King James)

We say yes because it makes a difference to others and to God.

Prayer: Lord, give me a steadfast attitude so my labor for You will produce positive results. Amen.

Rest

    “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest,” (Matthew 11:28 Holy Bible New King James). At the end of a workday, are you too weary to walk to the bus stop? Maybe you have to sit in your vehicle in the parking lot for a few minutes before battling your way home on crowded highways. If you’re a stay-at-home parent, you aren’t exempt from stress. Jesus understands your circumstances. He invites all of us to find rest in Him.
    Prayer: Lord, daily routine pushes me beyond my endurance level. Only in You can I find rest. Amen.
