SHOW OFF FOR GOD NOT MAN

Some people sins are easy to see, while the sins of others are hidden. But the people who sins are hidden judge the most. Some people do good deeds from the heart to build up God's Kingdom and others and those people will be blessed. Some people do good deeds to build themselves up and be seen by man. Those people have already received all they have coming to them

Matthew 6:1-4 Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. “Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. 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 in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

Father, let us do the right thing because it's right thing to do, not to show off in front of man. Lord, pull the wool off those that help others to be seen, so the people can see who they really are and let them get caught in their own greed and pride. Lord, let us not grow weary in doing good, for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. Lord, help us not focus on the shows and lies of others, but seek Your face, because everything else will pass away. Lord, let us not boast in front of man sounding our trumpets and being hypocrites, like those that think to highly of themselves. Father, we have been baptized with water and buried with Christ and we have been joined together by the Spirit on the cross. So that our sinful nature would no longer keep us bound to sin and we are so grateful, in Jesus name Amen
