Secret to Getting that Promotion!

James 4:10  "Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up."

We live in a world that is obsessed with self-promotion.  If you look in the bookstore you will find volume after volume telling you how to do this better, how to do that better, how to be the best you, you can be!  We fall into the trap of thinking that if we don't promote ourselves then we will never be promoted.  The Bible teaches that the opposite is true.  We can't get ahead through self promotion.  The Bible says that we are to Humble ourselves in the sight of the Lord.  That word "Humble" means to be meek and lowly, to recognize our unworthiness apart from the Lord.  If we learn to totally rely upon God then He will lift us up.  Promotion comes from the Lord according to Psalm 75:6-7.  He will exalt whom he chooses to exalt.  He will abase whom He chooses to abase.  Trust God today to lift you up in His perfect timing.
