Happy Labor Day! Because of the holiday in the US today, I'd like to reflect on our labor.
In these difficult times, many people are worried. Those who are unemployed are worried about whether they will find work again. The underemployed worry about making enough to make ends meet. And those with jobs are worried about when the rug may be pulled out from under them. All seemingly legitimate concerns. Until we remember that God has got it all under control. Read Matthew 6: 31-34 to get the picture.
For many, work is life. We find our identity in our work. But we must remember that work is merely a part of the big picture. Important, yes. But it should not be all-consuming. Our work must be dedicated to Christ. No matter what we do for a living, we should always do what we do to glorify God. Because jobs will come and go, but we will be with God forever.
Father, we thank you for the gift of work. We offer up to you all those who are unemployed or underemployed. Help us all to remember to glorify You in our work. Amen.
I truly enjoy listening to your program and have been wanting to get your Daily Refection reads. Thank you for what you do. May Gd continue to bless you to fine daily the loving and kinds words you send out each and everyday. God bless you and your family.
