Labor Grand.

1 Peter 5:6-7 So be content with who you are, and don’t put on airs. God’s strong hand is on you; he’ll promote you at the right time. Live care-free before God; he is most careful with you.

How perfectly wonderful. “Be content. He is most careful with you.” Oh that we may surrender more fully because of our Faith in who God has revealed himself to be in our Lord Jesus Christ. He is more than worthy of our time and thoughts. In all actuality, He is the only One who can make our time and thoughts worthy of calling our existence Life… who can bring us back from death.

Make me all patience and all diligence;

Patience, that thou mayst have thy time with me;

Diligence, that I waste not thy expense

In sending out to bring me home to thee.

What though thy work in me transcends my sense –

Too fine, too high, for me to understand –

I hope entirely. On, Lord, with thy labour grand.
