Can we have joy even in difficult situations? Yes. True joy comes from having Jesus as our Savior and knowing that He has a plan for us even in times of crisis and uncertainty.
He is worthy to be praised. True joy is on the inside not in outward situations.
Labor Day is a holiday in the USA to honor men and women in the workplace. It is a day set aside to celebrate with parades, picnics and family gatherings.
The Bible tells us a lot about labor:
Exodus 20:9-11 – Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
Ephesians 4:28 – Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.
1 Thessalonians 1:3 – Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;
These are just a few verses, there are many more. A good study. If you are struggling with burdens today these following verses will bring you comfort and rest:
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Matthew 11: 28-30
Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it. Isaiah 5:14
