Celebrate God's Character
- The Season of Mercy is all about God's mercy. Take time to meditate on the mercy of God as evidenced in His gift of work.
- Labor Day can help you intentionally appreciate God's work. God has been patiently, lovingly, and purposefully working with mankind since the beginning . . . as He is with you.
Celebrate God's Deeds
- You can celebrate the fact that God has done the work necessary for your redemption, He's provided His Word to instruct you, He gives you daily strength through the Holy Spirit, His will for your life is the perfect guide for your labor, He equips you for the work He has for you, He's daily working His will, and He will one day recreate the cosmos so His people can enjoy Him forever!
- You can celebrate our Desperation, the Salvation Focus for this season. Thank the Lord for caring enough about us not only to work to redeem us, but also working hard to help us recognize our need for a Savior.
