The Splendor of Common Duty

 

Every common walk of life is glorious with God’s presence, if we could but see the glory. We are always under commission from Christ. We have sealed orders from him every morning, which are opened as the day's events come. Every opportunity for duty or for heroism is a divine call. Be loyal to duty, no matter where you may hear its call nor to what service it may bid you. Duty is duty, however humble it may be; and duty is always noble, because it is what God himself allots. The work which the day brings to us is always his will, and the sweetest thing in all this world to a loving, loyal heart always is God's will. The service of angels in heaven’s brightness is no more radiant than the faithful duty-doing of the lowliest saint on earth.
