Righteousness is NOT a matter of appearances, but a matter of the heart!
DO NOT DO THIS:
Giving- When you give to someone in need, don’t do as the hypocrites do—blowing trumpets in the synagogues and streets to call attention to their acts of charity! I tell you the truth, they have received all the reward they will ever get. (v.2)
Prayer- When you pray, don’t be like the hypocrites who love to pray publicly on street corners and in the synagogues where everyone can see them. I tell you the truth, that is all the reward they will ever get. (v.5)
Fasting- And when you fast, don’t make it obvious, as the hypocrites do, for they try to look miserable and disheveled so people will admire them for their fasting. I tell you the truth, that is the only reward they will ever get. (v.16)

DO THIS:
Giving- But when you give to someone in need, don’t let your left hand know what your right hand is doing. Give your gifts in private, and your Father, who sees everything, will reward you. (v. 3-4)
Praying- But when you pray, go away by yourself, shut the door behind you, and pray to your Father in private. Then your Father, who sees everything, will reward you. (v. 6)
Fasting- But when you fast, comb your hair and wash your face. Then no one will notice that you are fasting, except your Father who knows what you do in private. And your Father, who sees everything, will reward you. (v.17-18)

"In fasting, you are literally praying with your body, offering all that you are to God in worship. As you yield your body to God, you are breaking the power of the flesh to control you and opening up to the power of the Spirit in its place." -John Mark Comer (Practicing the Way)
“We forget that discipleship means estrangement from the world, and we forget the real joy and freedom which are the outcome of a devout rule of life.” - Dietrich Bonhoeffer
