SABRINA
Happy Labor Day!
This day is set aside the first Monday of September in celebration of the economic and social contributions of America's workers; a day where we can truly appreciate how far we have come due to the effort others have put into the growth of our country.
Today, however, when we look at motivations for work, we often see some fairly shallow thoughts like: survival, to pay off debts, to get more/newer things.
The scriptures call us to a higher ideal- Col. 3:23 reminds us to love God and our neighbor. Loving God by working for the glory of God. Loving our neighbor as Ephesians 4:28 says, that we might have something to share for those in need. Work is not just for ourselves or for our own comfort, and most certainly not for our own self-indulgence. God gives us time. God calls us to labor - to labor for Him, to be His hands and feet. Let us take time to think on these things today!
