“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, foras-much as you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.” - 1 Corinthians 15:58
Vain labors are everywhere! People often look back over their lives at the fruit of their labors with re-gret. They start out with so much potential and yet it all seems for naught; such a tragic waste of precious lives. What constitutes vain labors? Vain labors have no eternal significance. They are null and void, without true meaning or purpose. Thus, even though they might give us momentary satisfaction, they are of no lasting value. What is the source of your labor? The source of your labor determines the worth of your labor. If the source of your labor originates with the Lord and is done with the Lord as your motivation, then you will have true fulfillment. But, if not, then it is all in vain. This is why so many people hate their jobs. However, the job is not the real problem; it is how you go about it. Are your labors fleshly efforts or Divine activity? If your labor stems from your fleshly efforts, not even the best job in the world could satisfy you. But if your labor is derived from the Lord, then you can find fulfillment in any job, no matter how menial the task may be. Although it will still be described as your labor, it will no longer be a labor of your own making. When your labor is derived from the Lord then it is never in vain! Do you want your labors to be valuable…for all eternity? Then yield yourself to the Lord and allow Him to do His good work through you. Then your labor will bring glory to the Lord and that will make it all worthwhile!
Have a Great Week! Bob
