Today’s Reflection
Faithfulness is consecration in overalls. It is the steady acceptance and performance of the common duty and immediate task without reference to personal preferences—becuase it is there to be done and so is a manifestation of the Will of God.
—Evelyn Underhill, edited by Keith Beasley-Topliffe, The Upper Room Spiritual Classics: Writings of Evelyn Underhill (Upper Room Books, 2017)
