The Best Labour Is The Labour Into The Rest Of God

 

 

What type of labour do you engage in most? Many people are labouring for different reasons and these reasons determine the outcomes. However, there is a labour we must all engage in, which is very important, the best and of eternal value. And the best labour is the labour into the rest of God

 

For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do - Hebrews 4:8-13 (KJV, emphasis mine).

Introduction

Labour is the use of physical, mental and social effort to produce something and it's related to hard work. However, when it's positively engaged, it yields great results.

Success in life requires that you put in hard work, and how much you put in determines how much success you will enjoy. This includes all areas of your life; so, whichever area you're willing to labour in will yield her fruit.

For instance, people labour to get a good education and build their families, career and businesses. But they neglect to build their relationship with God. Truly, where your treasure is there your heart will be (Matthew 6:21). Read more...
