Our labor, the things we do for others, is very important. The effects a small good gesture has on someone is powerful. Now, there are some people who make it a habit of doing good things for personal gains; maybe a tax break, and so will go out of their way to do that labor. God’s call on our lives\u00a0is to work\u00a0righteous acts\u00a0to bless others without thinking on any gains or recognitions.\u00a0\u00a0Sometimes it pays for us to just mask ourselves and our acts so that God may get the glory. When we hide our footprints on our deeds God will make sure that our rewards come our way.<\/p>\n
Matthew 6:1<\/p>\n
\u201cBe careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.<\/p>\n
Jesus spoke to his disciples in the sermon on the mount about practicing righteous deeds in the secret. It is important that first we do not give in to not doing good deeds to others. It is easy to not work deeds to help others after the many evil deeds they reward us with. People, today are influence to do bad to others and so probably would not merit any righteous acts, but when we continue to work out righteous deeds in secret\u00a0to others our\u00a0 heavenly Father will reward us (Mat. 6:6). The Lone Rangers fable is an example of a man behind a mask working righteous deeds who learned the reward of the secret. There is something about secrecy in humans. For example, we were made in a secret place; the pregnancy process continues to be a mystery(Ps. 139:15). Our very dna continues to be a mystery to man. We hold close tides to mysteries. We have written books and other literature related to mystery. We find safety in secret places. Whether it is in a closet, under the bed, in prayer \u00a0or on top of a tree we delight in hiding there; that secret place.<\/p>\n
Our maker, God also delights in secret places. He is found in the secret places. Matthew 6:6 says that God is in the secret place where you pray and that he will give you what you ask for in secret. God holds all the treasures in his hands and the hidden ones he will give it to us (Is 45:3).\u00a0 Jesus told his disciples that they were given the secret of the God’s kingdom (Mk.4:11). It belongs to those who thrive in maintaining themselves in the secret places. Salomon spoke that his wife dwells in the secret places of the stair (sos. 2:14) making reference to the church. The apostle Paul became experienced\u00a0in being content via its\u00a0 secret lesson \u00a0(Ph. 4:12).<\/p>\n
