Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain  (1 Corinthians 15:58).

Sometimes it feels like my whole life is in vain.

I’m not trying to be Eeyore here, but it’s true. Whether I’m teaching my students, or trying to keep the bills paid, or writing this…whatever this is that I write–there are days when it feels like none of it matters.

On those days, I am wrong.

Because God is victorious over death and sin

Because God will clothe the perishable with the imperishable

Even my efforts–feeble as they are–matter, if my labor is for him and through him and in him.

Beloved, if our lives are lived for God, if our purpose is to give him glory, then God will clothe the insignificant with significance. 

So, then, how shall we go about our day?

Happy Friday, Beloved
