Promotion Is Earned; It Is Not A Result Of Your
Existence.by Senior Pastor Robb Thompson
"Good planning and hard work lead to prosperity,
but hasty shortcuts lead to poverty."
Proverbs 21:5 (NLT)
In my own life, I had to come to grips with the
fact that I must earn any promotion I desire. In
America , it is easy to believe we should be
rewarded for simply showing up. Many believe you
should receive a bonus for being employed through
the end of December. God shows us throughout His
Word that He desires for us to be promoted. God
is our employer, and that is why the apostle Paul
encourages us to "work hard and cheerfully at
whatever you do, as though you were working for
the Lord rather than for people."
The modern state of Israel was born in 1948, but
it is based upon four thousand years of history
and tradition. When Jews around the world learned
of their nation's birth, each one was spiritually
promoted. God finally brought them back to their
ancient land, and it is the same God who promotes
us.
Any promotion that we receive unethically, or
through cutting corners, will be taken away from
us. However, if we earn a promotion through hard
work and faithfulness, there is no level we will
not attain, either at our workplace or in our
spiritual walk. Begin today to earn the promotion
you desire. A promotion is not a miracle God
grants us apart from our earning it. God promotes
anybody who is productive and happy. Heaven
watches just waiting, as it did over the Jews,
for a reason to promote those who willingly apply
God's Word.
Daily Confession
Father, I thank You that I am diligent all the
days of my life. I refuse to expect promotion for
which I do not work. I choose to work hard and
cheerfully at whatever I do.
