Monday Meditation: What Does God Say About Labor In The Bible?

"Except the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it;
except the Lord keeps the city, the watchman wakes but in vain.

It is vain for you to rise up early, to take rest late, to eat the bread
of anxious toil-for He gives blessings to His beloved in sleep."
(Psalm 127:1-2)

"Whatever may be your task, work at it heartily from the soul
as something done for the Lord and not for men. 

Knowing with all certainty that it is from the Lord and not
from men that you will receive the inheritance which is your
real reward. The One Whom you are actually serving is
the Lord Christ the Messiah."

(Colossians 3:23-24)

Have a beautiful and blessed Labor Day!
