What's done in public isn't that important, or at least it certainly doesn't say much about what my relationship with God is like. That's developed in the secret place with God and its the things done there (praying, giving, fasting etc) that really count.
Bit of a harsh reality check in v14-15. If we don't forgive others, God wont forgive us! Woah there!
At lot of my time and effort is spent on building up treasures on earth which are, in the end, worthless. I need to invest in treasures in heaven. (See Haggai)
Do I trust God with my needs or do I think I need to look after myself and watch my own back? All I need to bother about is seeking God's kingdom and His righteousness and let God deal with everything else.
