Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
Have you ever noticed that most of Jesus' parables deal with work (labor)? The parable of the sower. The faithful servant with his talents. The parable of the builders. The story of the wheat and the tares. It's evident that Jesus loves the faithful who are diligent in their work. In Proverbs 10:16 Solomon says, "The labour of the righteous tendeth to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin." God honors hard work, especially hard work done for His kingdom. Let us be thankful for jobs, careers, and the means to provide for those whom we love, for these things are blessings from God. If you need employment keep the faith and that faith will be rewarded. When we are faithful in all that we do, we are a blessing to God. Pastor John
