Psalms 75:6 For promotion comes neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. 7 But God is the judge: he puts down one, and sets up another.

There are some believers who are content with having the minimal. They only want what they need to survive for that day. They’re okay if they work at an entry level job for the next 25 years. They think that anything more than the bare essentials would be vanity. That’s fine if people choose to live in that manner, but that’s not God’s best.

God desires promotion for His people. Can you imagine if devout believers were head doctors and nurses at major hospitals? Imagine if the entire school board was made up of God’s children. Think about if believers owned car dealerships, properties, or refineries. What a difference it will make in the world if believers would aspire to their God-given potential. It’s not always about the amount of money one makes, but it’s about divine positioning. 

Contrary to religious belief, we can be successful and be spiritually grounded at the same time. So, be the person God called you to be, advance to the position where God called you to be, and receive the promises God desires for you to have.
