Secret Devotion

Evergreen Created Jun 20, 2026 · Updated Jun 20, 2026

Secret devotion = give, pray, and fast for the Father's eyes - not to be seen by people (Matthew 6:1-18).

Jesus brackets the Ask Seek Knock with the same warning: religious performance for an audience is its own reward. Secret devotion pairs with Ask Seek Knock (how to pray) and contrasts Let Your Light Shine - some good works shine publicly for God's glory; other devotion stays hidden so the left hand doesn't know what the right is doing. Free Grace means I'm not earning visibility points with God.

Extends Ask Seek Knock. Contradicts Drafting in Public when every act of piety becomes content for applause.
