'The humblest drudgery

The humblest drudgery

There is dignity in all duty — even in the humblest drudgery . The doing of God's will is always splendid work, though it be but washing dishes or cleaning a home.

The smallest roadside puddle has its water from heaven, and its gleam from the sun, and can hold the stars in its bosom, as well as the great ocean. Just so, the humblest duty is a bit of God's will, and shines with heavenly radiance.

This ought to be an inspiration to those who live in lowly places and can do only common task-work. Do it all well, and as God's will — and no great man's brilliant deeds will shine more brightly than your little things in God's sight!

"And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is My disciple, I tell you the truth, he will certainly not lose his reward!" Matthew 10:42

"If anyone wants to be first, he must be the very last, and the servant of all!" Mark 9:35

"So the last will be first; and the first will be last." Matthew 20:16
