VERSE OF THE DAY
Matthew 6:3-4
But when you give to someone in need, don't let your left hand know what your right hand is doing. Give your gifts in private and your Father, who sees everything, will reward you.
Sometimes we tend to get all puffed up and hot headed when giving to others. Like, oh girl, I gave this much to so and so, I donated this much to this ministry or that organization. I did this for this person or that family member. It is awsome to give, donate, or volunteer, thats great! But not all the time you need let your left hand know what your right hand will do. Sometimes, it is quite ok to humble yourself and give in private to bless someone with something. No need to broadcast or brag, for our father already has seen what we have done, he is the only one that matters. You dont have to call your sister, mother,cousin, aunt, grandma, great-grandma, you even went to pookies grave to tell what you did. I know that I call my sister to tell her almost everything. When we get on the phone it is over. I love talking to my sister, but Gods word is more important to me. What he says is TRUE! So, there is no need for the extra ok from others, when, the most important thing, is that God sees you, and as scripture says he will reward you.When we are doing good deeds for our church, family, community,or a certain organization, we should practice first to humble ourself, pray about it and then act on it. Then after that ask the Holy Spirit for guidance for our next moves. No need to make all of the unnessary phone calls. God got our back, He already know!
FYI I read the NLT, I love it, I can understand it, its good for me. I also read the KJV and the AMP.
