Day of Praise

Sat, 09/01/18, "Day of Praise"

"Yet you, Lord, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand." - Isaiah 64:8

"I also told them about the gracious hand of my God on me and what the king had said to me. They replied, 'Let us start rebuilding.' So they began this good work." - Nehemiah 2:18

"Give generously to them and do so without a grudging heart; then because of this the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in everything you put your hand to." - Deuteronomy 15:10

As we enjoy this Labor Day weekend, let us remember 1) that we ourselves are the loving work of God's hand (Isaiah 64:8), 2) that God blesses our labor when we tell others about God's gracious hand on us (Nehemiah 2:18), and 3) that God blesses our labor when we give generously and without a grudging heart (Deuteronomy 15:10).

Indeed, may God be praised as we remember and do these things, according to his word, this weekend and always!

Praise God!
