Tuesday, May 23, is a public holiday in Jamaica called Labour Day. On this day we celebrate labour. It gives us a chance to thank God for the gift of work by doing voluntary labour for the benefit of others. In his song “Ever Posse Must Work, ” Barrington Levy echoes scripture’s teaching about work.
Some people may dislike working, or disdain work altogether. In reality, work is a privilege given to mankind by God. He Himself worked in creating the world and still works in maintaining it. Therefore work and labour should be seen in the positive light in which it is given to mankind.
