"Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you." 1 Peter 5:6-7 (NIV) God has a plan for our promotion, but we must be willing to submit to His process. No need to belittle ourselves by doing things to gain attention from people in positions of power. Our promotion is not up to them! It's up to God! "For promotion and power come from nowhere on earth, but only from God. He promotes one and deposes another." (Ps 75:5-6 TLB ) We may be ready for promotion, but the position may not be ready for us! Allow God to set things in order and in due time, He will release us into it!
Prayer: Lord, thank you for the next promotion! Help us to humble ourselves under your mighty hand, submit to your process, stay in your will, but out of your way! Amen.
James 4:9-10. . . . Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up. (NIV)
