Evening: Psalms 85, 86; Matthew 16:1-12
Jesus teaches us to give quietly, suggesting it’s best to forget what you give. If you give expecting thanks, you don’t really give. Likewise, prayer is not a matter for pride … and to guard ourselves from pride, it is best done in secret. In effect, then, generosity is not giving a lot but giving expecting nothing in return. And prayer expects no admiration from others or special rewards from God. Giving and prayer are just part of being fully human. Giving and prayer are simply the way to live. And the way to live is … simply.
