Why Do You Do What You Do

Matthew Chapter Six is a challenge to us as to where our heart is, and what is treasure to us, and where does it come from. Often ministries, businesses, and individuals do their "good deeds" and broadcast their "benevolent" action for the world to see. They love the accolades and attaboys, and all the likes and shares of their actions. Others are drawn to them because they see them as desirable to be around or to be a part of what they're doing, and to bask in the adulation man is giving them. But is that what God desires of us? God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Matthew Chapter Six tells us to do our deeds in a way that our own left hand doesn't know what our right hand is doing. We should fast, while being in appearance as if we are not. We are to play in secret, knowing that our Papa will reward us openly. Sadly, prayers have become a production just like giving, and fasting is for men to see rather than God. Where is our heart?
