Good day World!! It's a new week and I'm so grateful to be here! Smile.
Some of us have been on our job for an extended period of time. We have been in the same position, doing the same functions and but have yet to be promoted. We applied for the new position but was overlooked once again. Of course, we are a bit emotional, (heck may have even cried about it, like I did) that the promotion was given to someone else. We can start to feel inadequate, unwanted, unneeded, unappreciated or undervalued. But I need for you to get this, God wants you, needs you, appreciates you and values you more than anything else in this world.
The One who created you knows what your gifts and talents are since He is the giver of them. He knows what, where and how you are to use them for the furtherance of His kingdom. He is the One who does the promoting and the exalting for He is the only Judge. God has put you in position to mature in your gifts, skills and talents. You are gaining the knowledge and experience you will need when HE GETS READY TO PROMOTE YOU! Jesus said in Matthew 19:30, "But many who are the greatest now will be least important then, and those who seem least important now will be the greatest then." So, don't let your emotions get the best of you.
But how do you deal with being overlooked for promotion? You simply direct the negative emotions toward the One who cares deeply for you. Don't get anger, upset or mad about someone else being chosen over you. Seek the direction, protection and guidance of the Holy Spirit and watch how you will be promoted by God!
The authority to reward someone does not come from the east, from the west, or even from the wilderness. God alone is the judge. He punishes one person and rewards another. - Psalm 75:6-7 (GW)
Have an amazingly blessed day and week!
