Don't Do Things Just To Be Seen

"Everything they do is done for men to see ..." "For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted." Matthew 23:5 & 12 (NIV)

Some people do things just for show, to be seen by others, to draw attention to themselves, to make themselves appear to be much more important, greater, or whatever than they actually are. Don't do things just to be seen by men and praised by men. Do what you do because it is the right thing to do, not to get the praise of others for doing it.

Whatever we do should not be done to glorify ourselves in the eyes of others. We should do things in such a manner as to give God the glory. (Read Matthew 5:16)
