ANONYMOUS GIVING
Matthew 6:1, 3-4
" 'Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven ....
But when you do a charitable deed, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, that your charitable deed may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward you openly.' "
Anonymous giving is a challenge. My flesh wants someone to "sound a trumpet" (vs. 2) so that everyone will recognize what a great and generous guy I am. I want their praise and applause. God sees, whether anyone this side of heaven knows, and that should be enough.
TODAY'S PRINCIPLE: God's reward for giving is better than man's praise.
[end]
Have a "charitable" day. Love you.
