“For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the
south. But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up
another. For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture;
and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the
earth shall wring them out, and drink them. But I
will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob. All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of
the righteous shall be exalted.”
Psalm 75:6-10 KJV
Don’t spend your energies trying to
exalt yourself. Proverbs 29:23 says, “man’s pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble
in spirit (KJV).” God’s way to honor is
humility, but the World’s way to success is promote yourself,
sell yourself, DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN TO GET FAME AND A NAME FOR YOURSELF! God’s
way to honor flies right in the face of that hollow philosophy: Be humble, the Lord is the Judge; He
Rules and He Reigns over all! Trust in Him, humble yourself, do your best and
faithfully follow the Lord in little and in abundance and let God take care of
promoting you.
