On Labor Day, I would like to remind you of the scripture found in I. Corinthians 15:58, which says, "Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord."

For all of you born again Christians out there, I understand just how tiring that it can get at times when you work for the Lord spreading the Gospel. As a matter of fact, the more that you are determined to live & work for Christ Jesus, the more attack it brings from the kingdom of darkness. Always remember that when you have God's attention, you will always have satan's attention also. He will constantly try to destroy those who labor in Christ Jesus. This verse reminds us to be steadfast, which means consistently adhering to a principle or action, unwavering, faithful, firmly fixed, direct, and steady. Secondly, we are told to be unmoveable, which means to firm; to stand firm. Through the trials of life, do not be moved from your right belief in God; do not change your mind and fall away from Him. Last of all, abound in God's work....Be busy in taking the Gospel to the world around you, and that means to those who are at your job, Walmart, the hair salon, etc...etc... You don't have to hold a technical position in a church to preach the Gospel of Jesus, but you are expected to preach the good news to those that come across your path. You will not always be received but many times rejected for the sake of the Gospel, however this scripture encourages to continue on in the midst of it all because we are laying up treasures in heaven. We are not working for the Lord in vain, but we have an eternal reward that we cannot yet see, but will surely possess it when we pass into eternity. Keep on, don't give up...Happy Labor Day!
