Everlasting Gains
Good morning Immanuel. Everyone who labors in the Lord lives for everlasting gains.
“Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.” (1 Corinthians 15:58)
Rather than bring the kingdom to completion at His first coming, our Lord left an abundance of work to be done so that we know the joy of participation. Through the Spirit of God, we are co-laborers with God. What a thought! He abounds in strengthening grace for all who abound in His work. Therefore, there is never a reason not to abound in the work of the Lord. If the work before us is a work that can be done to the glory of the Lord, then it is the work of the Lord for us today. And our labor will not go unrewarded!
Everyone who labors in the Lord lives for everlasting gains. Not a single act of labor in Christ will go unnoticed by our heavenly Father. Our generous God looks for reasons to reward us. Therefore, all who labor daily in the Lord stack up their joys with each passing day. There is always more reason to rejoice in God today than yesterday. The daily plodding of labor in the Lord is a swelling joy. Let’s give Him our faithful best today, Immanuel. And let’s rejoice today like never before that our labor in the Lord has not been in vain!
