2 Peter 1:5
"And beside this, giving all diligence
add to your faith virtue, and
to virtue knowledge"
In the Matter of Drudgery. You have inherited the Divine nature. says Peter (V-4), now screw your attention down and form habits, give diligence, concentrate. "Add" means all that character, means. No man is born either naturally or supernaturally with character, we have to build character. We are not born with habits, we have to form habits on the basis of the new life God has put into us. We are not meant to be illuminated versions, but the common stuff of ordinary life exhibiting the grace of God. The greatest hindrance in our spiritual life is that we will look for big things to do, without thinking how important the little things in our spiritual life are.
There are times when there is no illumination and no thrill, but just the daily round, the daily task. Routine is God's way of saving us between our times of inspiration. Do not expect God to always give you His thrilling minutes, but learn to live in the power of God through all you ups and down's of your spiritual life. If I do my duty, not for duty's sake, but because I believe God is engineering my circumstances, than at the very point of my obedience the whole superb grace of God is mine through the Atonement. AMEN!!
May God Bless You
And Your Families
