Labor Day
“And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught. And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.” (Mark 6:30-31)
Today’s Morsel: Labor Day is an American federal holiday to celebrate, honor, and recognize the American Labor Movement and the workers and contributions of laborers to the development and achievements of the United States. Hopefully, it will be a time for rest and relaxion for all. Work is good, but there comes a time that we all need rest.
When we turn to the church, we each are commissioned to carry the whole gospel to the whole world, by the whole church. Our labor can sometimes be taxing. Especially when we are seeking to save the lost, perfect the saints, and edify the body of Christ. We are laboring together with Christ to build His church and His kingdom. As we labor daily to reach the lost and disciple others, it can at times become tiring, and we will need a time of rest. Scripture tells us that Jesus told His disciples to come apart and rest a while for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat. Do you need a little rest from your labor? If so, why not take a day off and get the needed rest that you need so that you can be refreshed and then get back into the battle that is before us.
Sing: When you see me praying, I’m working on the building, I’m working on the building for my Lord. Well, I never get tired, working on the building, I’m going up to heaven to get my reward.
Thought For Today: “For ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail: for labouring night and day, because we would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God.” (1 Thessalonians 2:9)
