Rest From Your Labor

September 3, 2018 By Lifestyle Prayers 2 Comments

Filed Under: Rest Tagged With: rest

This is what I have observed to be good: that it is appropriate for a person to eat, to drink and to find satisfaction in their toilsome labor under the sun during the few days of life God has given them—for this is their lot. Moreover, when God gives someone wealth and possessions, and the ability to enjoy them, to accept their lot and be happy in their toil—this is a gift of God. They seldom reflect on the days of their life, because God keeps them occupied with gladness of heart. (Ecclesiastes 5:18-20)

Today, I would like to say “thank you” for your labor is not in vain, because you work unto the Lord. The seeds that you have sown in His kingdom will reap a bountiful harvest.

He sees every act of kindness, as you think of others before yourself. He observes how His mercy and grace is changing your life and making you more like Him. His plans and purposes are being fulfilled, even when it doesn’t seem possible, for He is your future and your hope.

So, take time to rest, reflect, and enjoy the fruit of your labor, for it is well deserved, and it brings glory unto His name. Amen.
