Commentary on Matthew 6:4
The promise that God 'seeth in secret' provides powerful motivation for private piety. The omniscient Father observes what no human sees and 'shall reward thee openly'—whether in this life or the final judgment. This establishes divine rather than human audience as the proper focus of obedience. The reward may come in transformed character, God's pleasure, eternal recompense, or visible vindication, but it is certain and surpasses any earthly acclaim.
