PROMOTION

Humility is the God-designed pathway to promotion in His Kingdom. Humiliation is a painful substitute, but it can still work if we respond to it correctly. We must turn our faces to the wall and cry out to the Righteous Judge or face the consequences of stubborn arrogance. Pointing to the pride of others to justify our own only increases the length and intensity of the trial. Love can be summed up in one word: “others”. The paradox of faith is that I must diminish so God can work mightily through me. Glorious God and Father, I bow to Your Greatness. Make me an instrument of Your blessing.
