9-7-2011. . . .LABOR NOT IN VAIN!
"Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain." (Ps 127:1 KJV) Is God involved with our work? Whatever our occupation, is God involved? God gets involved with our work in one of two ways. 1) He gets involved because the work is ordained by Him and He has connected us to it. 2) Though they be secular, we choose to involve God in the work (occupations) we have chosen. In either case, without God's involvement, we labor in vain.
Prayer: Lord, thank you for our careers. Whether you chose them for us or we chose them ourselves, please be involved so that our labor will not be in vain. Amen!
Eccl 2:24. . . . So I decided that there was nothing better for a man to do than to enjoy his food and drink and his job. Then I realized that even this pleasure is from the hand of God. For who can eat or enjoy apart from him? For God gives those who please him wisdom, knowledge, and joy; but if a sinner becomes wealthy, God takes the wealth away from him and gives it to those who please him. TLB
