3 Biblical Keys to Advance Your CareerSample

Day 3: God is the Promoter

Psalm 75:6-7 says, "For promotion and power come from nowhere on earth, but only from God. He promotes one and deposes another."

It's easy to get caught up in the rat race, thinking we have to claw our way to the top.

And that’s what the world is constantly telling us. But God’s approach is different.

The truth is, it's God who lifts us up. It's God who gives us the right opportunities at the right time.

Remember Joseph in Genesis 41:37-44? He went from being a prisoner to the second most powerful man in Egypt. That wasn't luck. That was God functioning as the promoter.

Opening up doors that only He can.

So, what does this mean for us? It means that we need to trust in God's timing. It means that we need to do our part, work hard, and be generous, but ultimately, we need to leave the results up to God.

No matter where we are in our careers, we can rest in the knowledge that God has a plan for us.

So today, let's make a point to trust in God's timing rather than our ability to promote ourselves.

Let’s Pray:

Dear God, thank You for Your perfect timing. Help me to trust in Your plan for my life, to know that You are the one who lifts me up. Give me the patience to wait for Your timing and the faith to know that You have a plan for me. Help me to do my part, to work hard and be generous, but to leave the results up to You. And as you promote me, help me never forget that you are the source and the reason for any success I achieve.

In Jesus' name, Amen.
