Under the Son...

Ecclesiastes 2:11
Then I looked on all the works that my hands had done
And on the labor in which I had toiled;
And indeed all was vanity and grasping for the wind.
There was no profit under the sun.

Most people spend the majority of their lives laboring for things "under the sun." The man who knows Jesus Christ will labor for things "under the Son." Nothing under the sun will last; all things under the Son will last forever.

Mark 8:36
What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?

Matthew 6:33
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

Luke 18:29-30
"I tell you the truth," Jesus said to them, "no one who has left home or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God will fail to receive many times as much in this age and, in the age to come, eternal life."

Galatians 6:8
The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.

Father - teach me to labor for things that will last, things of the Spirit, things of Your kingdom, things that bring honor and glory to Your Son Jesus Christ. Amen.
