Day 18: Thank God for what we Have and Trust God for what we Need
“Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven. Therefore, when you do a charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But when you do a charitable deed, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, that your charitable deed may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward you openly. “And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words. “Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him.

What caught my attention is the last verse in today's passage. Our beloved Heavenly Father knows the things that we need of way before we even pray! This shows He cares for us and is sensitive to our needs. The fact that He even knows the right timing to give us the required things shows His commitment to give us nothing but the best. How about us? Do we give our best to our beloved Father in Heaven? Do we commit ourselves to love Him with all our heart, our mind, our strength and with all our soul? (Luke 10:27) Today, start to commit ourselves to just read about 7 verses of His Word FIRST thing in the morning! Tell ourselves, "No Bible, No Breakfast". https://twitter.com/EstherOng (please click to view a visual)
