Wisdom for the Sons: Quiet Work, Open Reward

Matthew 6:2-4:  Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men.   Verily I say unto you.  They have their reward.  But when thou doest alms let not thy left hand know what the right hand doeth: That thine alms may be in secret: and thy FAther which seethe in secret himself shall reward thee openly.

My son, in well doing to others do not shout and and broadcast the things you do for others.  Do them in the name of the Father that He may get all the glory.  There is a fine line between sharing a testimony and boasting of what you are doing for others.  When you broadcast the things you have done for others the Scriptures say you have received your reward, the glory of men but if you do it in secret the Father will bless you openly.  My son, consider all the miracles Jesus performed, not one did He broadcast and many he told them "do not tell anyone".  He always sought to give the glory to the one who sent Him, the Father.  Let us do our work quietly and for the glory of the Father.
