"Let Us Pass the Test…"
Psalm 75:6-7
New International Version
6 No one from the east or the west or from the desert can exalt themselves.7 It is God who judges: He brings one down, he exalts another.
Have you ever noticed that people tend to act differently around those they think can do something for them - people who appear to have status, wealth, or influence in life? What if the way we treat people is a test? At times, God will bring people across your path who may seem insignificant. They may not appear to be able to do anything for you, but in reality, they are divinely linked to your destiny. They hold the key to your promotion and increase. Will you treat them with respect and honor even if you think they can't do anything for you?
The truth is, the people who we're playing up to or trying you win their favor may be the ones that will open a door for us. But they don't hold the key to your destiny. Promotion doesn't come from them. Promotion comes from God. And God will use the most unlikely people to open doors of opportunity. Let's pass the test and treat everyone as though Jesus put them in our path because He probably did. Remember, God is watching and promotion comes from Him.
