TODAY'S 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.
Psalm 75:6-7, AMP.
TODAY'S 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.
PRAYER FOR TODAY:
Father, thank You for promotion.
Thank You for ordering my steps and leading me on the right path. Today I
choose to honor and respect everyone, and in turn, I choose to honor You in
Jesus’ name. Amen.
