The Daily Blueprint for 9/6/10 Labor
John 6:27
Labor not for the meat which parishes, but for that meat which endures unto ever lasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for Him hath God the Father sealed!
Today across America people are taking a break from work - this is a day of rest -the end of summer is upon us - all the fun we had (or didn't have) is now history - School is back in session - and work is something we all have to do - we must labor to earn an income! If you don't work - how will you be able to eat - or provide for your family?
Work is a fact of life - no doubt about it - we all are thankful for 2 days a week we can be off from work - please note there are those working who don't get those two days a week off - there are those who serve in the Armed Forces who must work on days that we are off to keep us safe! There are people in the health profession that must work - volunteers at local rescue squads - don't get a day off - they are always needed - Today's verse talks about laboring for that which does not pass away - eternal things - these are the important things - not to make light those who serve in dangerous jobs - those who work on holiday's - but this world is fleeting it's passing away - we are not here for long and must make our mark - but what does our life say to others? What are we working for? Is it simply to provide things to ourselves and our families? Is it more than that? for some work is a social event -a place to get away from the outside world and become part of a mini-communtiy - for others their job defines them - their job is most important and can become an idol - put before God - this is dangerous - GOD has given us jobs to do HIS will - we are HIS agents on the job - where ever GOD has placed you - be a light - live for His glory for those around you to see - remember what you do says a lot about the GOD you serve!
Let's labor for that which will last forever - our very souls and the souls of countless others that GOD places in our path!Today is the day - rest today but tomorrow it's time to get back to it!
WORD TO THE WISE:
Work for me has been tough for the past couple of weeks - but that does not make me run away but it causes me to fight that much harder to stay - to be used by GOD - what about you? What's GOD asking you to do? God be with you all - Happy Labor Day!
