What is the motivation for our behavior as a Christian person? It’s so easy to fall into the trap of doing religious things so that we will look good to others especially to our spiritual friends. This is true even when culture reacts negatively to our faith. Those around us who know about our faith and the Christians around us become the target of our good behaviors. While we want to influence everyone around us, we must never make our decisions about spiritual service based on being seen by others to be honored by them because of it. Our goal must be to honor God and bless others! “Be careful not to do your “acts of righteousness” before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.” Matthew 6:1.

How great is your goodness, which you have stored up for those who fear you, which you bestow in the sight of men on those who take refuge in you.
