Secrets....

Matthew 6:1-4

New International Version (NIV)

Giving to the Needy

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.

Why is it that it is easy for us to keep secret the things that we are ashamed of but want to show the whole world when we are doing the "right" thing!!! Justification much.....

When did I become such a people pleaser..... Seeking the approval of men instead of the approval of God?!?

Sometimes I catch myself but its too late....

Help me get my priorities straight Lord....
