Read Matthew 6:16-24
There is a lot going on here in these teachings of Jesus. If impressing others with your spirituality, wealth, and material possessions is your goal, you will miss the Kingdom of God. Your time of fasting and prayers are between you and God. We are to treasure things that are going on in Heaven: love, people, and wisdom. Your attention and focus will be evident in your entire life including your health and relationship. Two choices for what we will serve really: God or everything less than God.
Living to serve Him first puts everything else in its rightful place: such as reputation, possessions, desires, relationships, and wealth. Put anything in first place before God and all other priorities go into chaos.
