Matthias was chosen to replace Judas and then never named again. Faithful doesn’t always mean famous.

GRATITUDE

WHAT THIS MEANS

He was appointed to something significant and then disappears from the record entirely. No further mention, no account of what he did with it, and presumably decades of actually doing it. That is what most faithfulness looks like from the outside: a name in a list and then nothing. Fame and usefulness turn out to be almost unrelated, which is a relief if you are never going to have the first one.

Do the thing nobody will ever hear about this week. Then do it again next week, which is the part that counts.

A QUESTION TO SIT WITH
