Be careful not to do your “acts of righteousness” before men, to be seen by them.  If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven (Matthew 6:1).

Don’t be a poser.

I know, sometimes that’s easier said than done.  We live in a society that judges you by your social media posts.  It can be difficult to pass up the opportunity to let your friends know how giving and loving and tender-hearted and generous and basically amazing you are.  We want 1000 likes and comments of, “Wow! You’re so awesome! I wanna be like you!” Who doesn’t need a pat on the back from time to time?

But, when it comes down to it–and it always does come down to it– which would you prefer–an “attaboy” from your peers, or one from, you know, the Lord of the Universe?

Thought so.

So, again,

Don’t be a poser.

Happy Tuesday, Beloved.
