Labor Day is the first Monday of September, and it is a day to celebrate the hard work of every worker in the United States. Labor Day symbolizes prosperity, strength, and well-being. It is also known as the official end of summer. On Labor Day, many families have cookouts and take a rest from their toilsome labor. Work can be taxing at times, which is why we need to take time to take a break. God didn’t create us to be robots who are always productive. We should work and be fruitful; however, we don’t have to be working day in and day out. We need rest, and we can find this rest at the feet of Jesus. He will give us the rest and peace our hearts truly need. While it can be common to drown ourselves in work when overwhelmed, it is better to turn to God’s Word and pray to Him. Below are seven biblical truths about work and rest to reflect on this Labor Day. Thinking over these passages will help us experience inner peace. Although we live in a fast-paced society, we need to slow down and take time to rest. We can achieve a healthy balance between work and rest, as both are needed, good, and productive.Photo Credit: © Getty Images/Choreograph
