Meet
Jesus: Secretly Open
Matthew
6: 3: But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what
thy right hand doeth:4: That thine alms may be in secret: and thy
Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly 6:
But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou
hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy
Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
Jesus is secretly
open. What He does in secret, He does not to hide, but not to bring
attention. It isn't that He is trying to be secret. He just is not
interested in men's approvals and accolades. He is interested in
His Father's approval and His Father's will being done in secret
for our example.
ACT!
Take inventory of your "good works." Are they done for the Father
and for example to provoke others? Are they done to be noticed?
PRAY!
Father, increase in me attention to Your will and ways. Let me concentrate
on the private days of my life and the private moments of my days.
Let me excel in secret that exposure of my life would only reveal
Your activity.
