Three times the Lord says in Matthew chapter six, “your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.” Matthew 6:4; Matthew 6:6 and Matthew 6:18

He says that in regard to three things:

The first Secret:

Giving to the needy. Matthew 6:1-4

The hypocrites are mentioned. We are mentioned. Matthew 6:3 “But when you give to the needy, …”

The second Secret:

Prayer. Matthew 6:5-15

The hypocrites are mentioned. We are mentioned. Matthew 6:6 “But when you pray, …”

The third Secret:

Fasting. Matthew 6:16-18

The hypocrites are mentioned. We are mentioned. Matthew 6:17 “But when you fast, …”

It takes faith to do things in secret. And let us remember that “Faith keeps the person who keeps the faith.”
