My Labor Is Not in Vain

Sometimes believers will serve God with great zeal and excitement, but occasionally we may be tempted to question the purpose of our work for the Lord. This hymn by CityAlight helps us learn that the value of Christian service is not assessed by our own personal satisfaction or happiness. Instead the value is derived from the privilege of doing what God asks, and so fulfilling his great eternal purposes. This gives us great clarity in following Paul's instructions in 1 Corinthians 15:58: "Be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain."
