REFERENCE:
Matthew 6:3-4
But when you
give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is
doing, so that your giving may be secret. Then your father, who sees what is
done in secret will reward you.
COMMENT:
Giving to the needy must be done in secret if God is to release a reward. If it
is done in public, the people witnessing it will praise the giver and that
praise from the people is the only reward. Nothing will come from God because
He does not share his glory with man. That is why He does not act.
However, when the
giving is witnessed by others, especially to a ministry through electronic
media, God understands and rewards the giver.
PRAYER: Thanks
to God for His order that we must not publish our act of giving. Thanks again for
curtailing pride that may come from the act of giving.
