Waiting for Promotion?

Are you waiting for a promotion in your workplace? Do you feel that those who have been elevating themselves and stepping on everyone’s toes in the process are the ones who are getting the promotions? It is important to remember that God has not forgotten about you. Refrain from trying to take matters into your own hands, even if you have been patiently waiting for a lengthy amount of time.

First of all, we must redefine what God considers to be a promotion. God is not moved by a manmade ladder of succession. A new position is merely a new assignment to God. We may be praying for some position that God essentially knows is not right for us. Since He sees everything from beginning to end, many times He does not give us what we ask for as a means of protecting us from hidden problems and dangers that come with that position.

God’s Word tells us to remain humble in service. For today, you are right where God wants you to be. If it were not so, He would move you. It is the accumulation of the days spent in humble service that will yield your biggest breakthrough. He is mighty and powerful enough, at His appoint time, to move you into your next assignment.

Prayer
Lord, I thank You that I don’t have to play the game in the workplace of exalting myself to climb the corporate ladder. I choose to work as a humble servant under Your headship and allow You to elevate me at your appointed time.
