Deeds done for God but Unknown by man
And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men to spy secretly. Joshua 2:1
When the twelve spies were originally sent out by Moses they were named. The names of these two faithful and courageous men are not mentioned. Human nature likes our names to be known if something is accomplished for God. I often feel when this occurs that the Lord’s words are so timely “They have their reward.” It is the self effacing, unknown saints who lovingly carry out deeds of kindness who will receive the great heavenly rewards. It was only the Lord Jesus who noticed the widow with her two mites. --Brian Russell
Before the eyes of men let duly shine thy light,
But ever let thy life’s best part be out of sight.
--Richard Chenevix Trench
