Daily Devotion – May 1, 2026
Scripture: Galatians 5:25 – “Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.”
Theme: Walking in the Spirit in Our Work
Background:
In Galatians, Apostle Paul teaches that believers are called to a new life led by the Holy Spirit, not by selfish desires. This guidance applies to every area of life—including our daily work, responsibilities, and interactions with others.
Application :
On this International Labour Day, we reflect on the dignity of work and the value of every worker. Galatians 5:25 reminds us that our work should not only be productive but also Spirit-led. Whether in offices, fields, health facilities, or communities, we are called to demonstrate integrity, fairness, humility, and love.
Working “in step with the Spirit” means:
Treating colleagues with respect and compassion
Acting with honesty and accountability
Promoting justice and fairness in the workplace
Serving others with dedication, not just for reward but as service to God
As we celebrate labour, we also remember that true fulfillment in work comes when it is guided by God’s Spirit and aligned with His purpose.
Conclusion:
International Labour Day is not only a time to honor human effort but also an opportunity to recommit our work to God. When we walk by the Spirit, our labor becomes meaningful, impactful, and a testimony of God’s presence in our lives.
Closing Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of work and the strength to labor. On this Labour Day, help us to walk in step with Your Spirit in all that we do. Teach us to work with integrity, serve with love, and uplift others through our actions. May our labor bring glory to Your name. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
