1“Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. (Matthew 6:1)
Thoughts: Jesus is more concerned with our hearts than show. Politics and media are all concerned with "spin" and perception and popularity. Jesus is concerned with doing the right thing- even secretly and anonymously. Popular acclaim is its own very fickle and fading reward. But doing things in secret gives an eternal lasting reward.
What have you done good that was done in secret- anonymously- without any kind of payback or hopes for payback? What have you given without a tax write off? What have you given with no hopes of recognition?
Prayer:Lord, Help me to be careful. Help me to be cautious to practice my good deeds for your acclaim and no one else.
