Dear Young Christian:

In Canada and the U.S., the first Monday in September is designated as Labor Day. In one of life’s ironies, most of the workers get the day off, so it really isn’t a day of labor but a day of rest. This is to reward hard-working people who have served their employers and done a good job in their everyday tasks. As believers, we are to do our work well so that we give testimony to the Lord who is our true Master. “Whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God” (1 Corinthians 10:31). “Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ” (Ephesians 6:5).

There is another kind of labor that is given to each believer in Christ. “For we are labourers together with God” (1 Corinthians 3:9). This labor will not be finished until we arrived home in the Father’s house. That’s why we are reminded, “There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God” (Hebrews 4:9). In the meantime, we can and should labor diligently and happily for the Lord.

Your Christian Friend,

Jim Hyland
