1st Corinthians 15:58
“Be steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord. For we know our labor is not in vain.”
What is your “work in the Lord”? The Hebrew word for work, means “calling or occupation, the result or object of employment, performance, as a single act or continuous Pretty much whatever God requires you to do. God’s work was to perform miracles. Our job is to spread the Gospel.
As we trudge along, doing God’s will and His work, we know our “labor is not in vain”. The Hebrew word for labor means to strike/cut down, travail, have trouble, disturbance, uneasiness, weariness, the expression of grief and lamentation.
We often feel that investing so much time, energy, emotion and effort into “doing the Godly thing” leaves us worse off than if we didn’t try so hard. While God’s Word says that we WILL receive our reward for obeying Him.
