Live with Purpose: Your Labor Is Not in Vain 🛠️❤️Passage: 1 Corinthians 15:55–58
55 “Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?” 56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 58 Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.Explanation: Paul closes this incredible chapter with a shout of victory: death has lost its sting 🐝❌!

Application: Even when you feel tired, unnoticed, or discouraged, remember: your efforts in Christ have eternal significance 🌟. Keep showing up. Keep loving. Keep serving. One day you will see the full, glorious harvest 🌾 of every seed you sowed in faith.
