Labor Day
Observed the first Monday in September, Labor Day is an annual celebration of the social and economic achievements of American workers. The holiday is rooted in the late nineteenth century, when labor activists pushed for a federal holiday to recognize the many contributions workers have made to America’s strength, prosperity, and well-being.

And so, since June 28, 1894, Labor Day has been a Federal holiday here in America. The first Labor Day parade is depicted here:
And so, today, some will rest from their customary work, while others will attend their jobs as usual. As you would expect from me, I have to tie this to Scripture. For sure I do!😊
Rest. Because of the Unsurpassed Labor of the LORD JESUS, you and I have REST.
Rest from the labor of trying to save ourselves! We have and can continue RESTING in the Finished Work of Our Savior. That’s really good news, any day, not just today!
Matthew 11: 28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 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. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. KJV
So I have to ask, are you laboring today or resting?
