| Promotion Comes from the Lord |

| THE SCRIPTURE |
| “For not from the east nor from the west nor from the south come promotion and lifting up. But God is the Judge! He puts down one and lifts up another.” |
| (Psalm 75:6–7, AMP) |

| THE WORD |

Have you ever noticed that people tend to act
differently around those they think can do something for them — people
who appear to have status, wealth or influence in life? I believe that
the way we treat people is a test. At times, God will bring people
across your path that may seem insignificant. They may not appear to be
able to do anything for you, but in reality, they are divinely linked to
your destiny. They hold the key to your promotion and increase. Will
you treat them with respect and honor even if you think they can’t do
anything for you?
The truth is, the people that we’re playing up to or
trying to win their favor may be the ones that will open a door for us.
But, they don’t hold the key to your destiny. Promotion doesn’t come
from them. Promotion comes from God. And God will use the most unlikely
people to open doors of opportunity for you — a hotel bellman, a maid,
an intern, or an unpopular kid at school. Let’s pass the test and treat
everyone like Jesus put them in our path because He probably did.
Remember, God is watching and promotion comes from Him.
