Leaving our Labors

I'm currently in Alma chapter 1 with my personal study of the scriptures. Verses 25-26 say:

"Now this was a great trial to those that did stand fast in the faith; nevertheless, they were steadfast and immovable in keeping the commandments of God, and they bore with patience the persecution which was heaped upon them.

And when the priests left their labor to impart the word of God unto the people, the people also left their labors to hear the word of God..."

As I read these verses I thought of a few things, but one I wanted to bring up here is about the part of the verse above that is red.

What do you think that means that the people "left their labors?" I actually thought of this student that shared something super awesome this past week in class.

We were talking about the importance and purposes of the sacrament and this student mentioned that something he did to help show to his Heavenly Father that the sacrament is important to him is leaving his phone home. He bore simple yet powerful testimony that the way in which he showed the importance of the sacrament helped him feel the Spirit testify to him of its true importance and significance.

I love my kids in Seminary!!!!

Anyway, that's what I thought of when I read the verses above, particularly 25. I am now wondering to myself, "What labors can I leave in order to hear the word of God on Sunday? What labors can I leave on a daily basis to help me hear the word of God?"
