Love you all, praying for you.
 
I just love how God’s Word gives wisdom for real things.  Ecclesiastes 10:5  There is an evil I have seen under the sun, the sort of error that arises from a ruler: Fools are put in many high positions, while noblemen occupy low ones.  I have seen slaves on horseback while princes go on foot like slaves.     An inevitable test in every life… how do you handle injustice?  When bosses or those in leadership promote the wrong people.  Maybe you didn’t get the job or job promotion you thought you deserved, or maybe you’re just scratching your head at some things…  Mis-promotions come from corruption or incompetence.  Either way, it’s not the first time, nor will it be the last.  But what does that have to do with you?  A lot.  Whether it directly impacts you or not…  How will you react?  Step 1:  Be Humble.  Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time.  It’s a pre-requisite.  Maybe you are 100% right, but maybe there are other factors you aren’t privy to.  Be humble.  God’s Word says – it’s the start of promotion.  Step #2  Trust in the LORD.  LORD – Supreme in Authority.  All jobs, titles and companies are His.  The wealth of the world belongs to Him and he distributes it as He wishes (I Samuel 2:7),  So do all jobs promotions, and titles.  He brings down one, and exalts another (Psalms 75:6).  This is not fatalism, He is not corrupt nor apathetic.  People are in positions of His choosing or His allowing.  He is a God of justice and mercy and He is the God who loves you and has good stored up for all who fear Him.  Step 1:  Be Humble – there are some things of this situation or God’s greater plan, that you do not know.  He is in heaven and you are on earth – so let your words be few.  Don’t catch diarrhea of the mouth – grumbling and complaining about what you don’t think is right.  It’s still something that God is fully aware of and in full control of.   Step #2 – Trust in the LORD.  Don’t think about the injustice.  Read the PRISM Topic – Life Purpose and Direction.  Get busy doing your job!  What He has assigned for you to do at this time,  Until a promotion comes – do better where you are!  Don’t worry about other people – God will never call you to give an account of them…  Step #3 - Choose Praise.  Cultivate it in your life.  God said in everything give thanks – for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.  This is one of those everythings…  It’s time to give thanks.  It’s time to Praise.  He has been so good to you and when you know that He is developing you for good – you know that delays have Divine Purpose.  He has something for you to grow in right here, before He grows you in the next place He has for you.  Don’t be the cause of the delay, use the delay or injustice to Practice Humility, Trust, and Praise.  If it’s an injustice that He’s calling you to do something about – the Holy Spirit will be unmistakeably clear.  We are to stand up for those who can’t speak for themselves.  But it will still be in Humility, Trust, and Praise.  Praying for you that you would always practice humility – you might not know everything,  that you would practice trust – by obeying where you are, and that you would practice praise – so you’re always praising, never grumbling and complaining.  Praying that in humility, you would trust Him fully and praise Him greatly.  He loves you, He’s faithful, He’s at work right now, for His glory and your good. 
 
Love you all,
