"Labor" Day

On a day such as labor day, a person has time to unwind and have the relaxation and reflection that many do not have time for due to their jobs.  This is a day that has a strange adverse meaning from the name, considering labor day is usually associated with rest. Although this is the reasoning behind many American schools and companies being close on this holiday, we as humans, along with everything throughout life, turn this day into a busy, rest free time.  With cook outs, parties, and "get together's" that take a whole day of planning, many times we accredit the title "Labor Day." As Christians we are supposed to serve Christ in all we do, and labor day is a great opportunity of reflection to ask yourself: Am I truly working for His glory? Am I willing to go to the ends of this earth to proclaim the soul saving Gospel of Jesus Christ? Am I willing to sell everything I own to go and serve Him? Now don't get me wrong, I do not believe this is his call for everyone, but we are called to have this amount of faith.  Everything can be done to the glory of God, the question is, are we as the body of Christ doing it? True rest is found in faith in Jesus Christ, so lets spend this Labor Day doing what it was created for, resting in the word of our Almighty God.
