Matthew 6:1–4

 

6 “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.

2 “So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

 

One thought:

When we give for other (humans) to see, we are actually serving ourselves and not others.

 

Three questions:

What would this look like today?

 

Do you do this?

 

How could you give something away today without anyone knowing?

 

Prayer:

Praise God that He is entitled to all glory and honour. Give thanks that Jesus Christ was given to us in grace. Ask God to help you + someone else seek God’s glory and not your own as you generously give.
