September is the month that we remember Labor Day. A day to recognize the accomplishments of the American worker.
I learned in Seminary that being a pastor was a calling, a vocation, not a job. Many days, it truly feels like a job! The Apostle Paul tells us in Colossians 3:23-24 (NIV)
"Whatever
you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not
for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance
from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving."
Labor Day should remind us that the work we accomplish every day needs to be a blessings to others, whether we labor physically in mines, sitting at tables, or preaching and teaching others in and outside the church, we are to do it well and pleasing to God!
