so that it will not be obvious to others that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. Matthew 6:18
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Matthew 6:33
God sees us all of the time. He also knows our motives. He wants us to do because it's right, not because we get praised by others. And if we act with the right motives, we'll be rewarded. It may not be physical , but it will always be spiritual!
Kent Huges writes, "Our holiness is not so much waiting for God to do a work in us, although it can be that. Rather, it is recognizing that he is present even now and that his presence is power when it comes to our fight against sin, the flesh, and the Devil. I’ll put it this way: we will only be as sanctified as we are aware of God’s ever-seeing sight."
