Work – it piles up. It takes time. It sucks! I hate it…all phrases we have heard before. Work is a four-letter word to some and yet for most it’s a huge part of life. Work to pay bills. Work to stay busy. Work to keep from having to do more work. Life is full of work.

I wonder what are we working  towards? What are we striving so hard for? In 1 Corinthians 9:25 Paul explains what we should be working towards “Athletes work hard to win a crown that cannot last, but we do it for a crown that will last forever” There are all kinds things to work for. Let us be reminded to put our effort in working towards those things that last.

Thanks to Paul Ellis for this great post.
