Labor

Work is an honorable, beneficial thing. Sure, some jobs are mundane at times, but remember the One for whom You are ultimately working. Be thankful for the job God gave you, and work to do the best that you can for His glory.

Deuteronomy 16:15 - Seven days shalt thou keep a solemn feast unto the LORD thy God in the place which the LORD shall choose: because the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thine increase, and in all the works of thine hands, therefore thou shalt surely rejoice.


1 Corinthians 15:58 - Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.


The Son of God reveals Himself in me, and I serve Him in the ordinary ways of life out of devotion to Him.

Psalm 128:2 - For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.


Proverbs 12:11 - He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding.


2 Chronicles 15:7 - Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work shall be rewarded.


2 Thessalonians 3:10 - For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.


1 Corinthians 3:8 - Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.


1 Thessalonians 4:11-12 - And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;
That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.


Proverbs 22:29 - Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.
