It's What you Do in the Dark
During the Olympics I saw this commercial and it really struck a cord with me. It was incredible to watch such a dominate athlete do it one more time around and showcase his abilities. It is easy to forget all the time, effort, and sacrifice it took for him to win those medals. It was the dedication to working out, his diet, waking up early in the morning time after time, that got him to where he is at. For as a Christians the same is also true. What you do when no one else is looking, or giving you credit for, will eventually be shown. Luke 8:17 says "There is nothing hidden that will not be revealed, and nothing concealed that will not be known and illuminated." What we do to honor God when no one sees, God sees it and will honor it. I believe God will use those whom honor him in everything that they do. Put in the hard work of obedience and submission to God every day in the dark and see how God will use you in the light.
