Hard Workers
I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Tuesday morning, the 2nd of June, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.
We go to the Book of Acts 20:7:
”Now on the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul, ready to depart the next day, spoke to them and continued his message until midnight.”
How’s that for a sermon? Preaching all night! But there was a young man, whose name was Eutychus. He was sinking into a deep sleep, and he fell out the window, the third storey. He fell to the ground, and he died. Paul stopped his preaching, went down to the bottom, laid his hands, laid his body over Eutychus and prayed, and God raised him up! Then Paul went back upstairs and kept preaching all night until the sun came up, then he blessed them all and continued on his journey. What a man! What a work ethic!
I want to encourage you today, young man, young lady. You must work hard and especially for the Kingdom of God. It’s not about, “Oh, so and so is so lucky, or he is so blessed or so privileged.” No, if you look into that man’s life, you will see that he was a very diligent, hard-working man or woman. At university, at school, in the workplace, continually working and praising the Lord - a wonderful example to so many people who can’t even get out of their bed in the morning.
Strength for the strain - God gives us enough strength for the work that he’s called us to. Let us not become lazy. Let us not become slack. You know that beautiful scripture found in Galatians 6:9:
“And let us not grow weary (tired) while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.”
Jesus bless you. Have a wonderful day as you keep working for the Master!
Goodbye.
