Everyday sayings of Jesus

Left hand doesn't know what right hand is doing

You ordered spaghetti, but you were served steak and fries. You’re not impressed with the restaurant. The left hand clearly doesn’t know what the right hand is doing. The same is true for any organization where communication is poor.

This saying has a positive side to it, though, which is how Jesus used it. He said that when we do good things, we should keep it to ourselves, rather than letting other people admire us. Here’s how he put it…

When you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
Matthew 6:3-4
