Matt 6:1 (HCSB) "Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of people, to be seen by them. Otherwise, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.
You must decide to ‘be’ before ‘being’. It is very difficult ‘being’ something, when you have not decided you desire ‘be’ it…However, you cannot receive, or you should not expect what you are unwilling to model, or do not believe. Do what is personally profitable, professionally beneficial, or politically correct; it garners you nothing. Everyone sees through it and response to the ‘lie’ with distrust or lip service; what you give is what you receive. There is not a reward in Heaven for you, and there is also no reward here for you with substance and longevity; only momentarily and weak. Thus, there is no reason to worry or cry about something you help to create. Know the righteous is never forsaken, or without. This is the reason God looks on the inward part of man, and reminds us where our heart is, this is where our treasures are. When you decided to be, you no longer spend unnecessary time and energy focusing on how you will be received, or if you will be believed. You do not worry when someone else gets a promotion, or a job you feel you are more qualified for, or get some material blessing you think you should get. Instead you begin seek the best for them to, and start encouraging yourself with the truth – what is for me, is for me at the time that I am ready to handle, and it is God’s time not mind…decide to be it, and then it will not be so difficult, and see how life, love, and trust reveal itself more readily to you
