Tracking our good works can indeed cause us to swell up with pride. On the other hand it can humble some folks when they see that they have not forgiven seventy times seven or they have not measured up to the generosity of God. We need to beware of comparing our self against our view of what other people are doing. But I believe we can humbly and prayerfully track our giving in order to 1. Encourage ourself to increased giving and 2. Be more effective in providing limited resources to worthy causes. So I ask myself what do I do with that portion of the tax return that I get for claiming my deductions. Am I using it in a way that is pleasing to God? I pray that I will not give selfishly in order to think more highly of myself or to seek honor from men but that I will give generously and wisely in a way and in an attitude that is pleasing to Him.
