Promotion, Increase, Prosperity (Daily Devotional)

Greetings and thank you for giving us the opportunity to come to you once again today, as we talk about God in the workplace this week. In the workplace, understandably, all of us, to one degree or another are expecting promotion, increase, prosperity, success; we are expecting to do well, things to get better, expecting growth, promotion, greater levels of influence and responsibility and so on and so forth. We are just using the terms that we all understand, promotion, increase and prosperity. God is not against all these things when we study the scriptures. I just want to point us to two of them, Psalm chapter 75, verses 6 and 7, ‘For exaltation comes neither from the east nor from the west nor from the south. But God is the Judge: He puts down one, and exalts another.’ Exaltation is another word for promotion. He is saying here, promotion comes from God, it is God who makes the way for your promotion. So, you look to God and say, you are with me and you are the God who exalts me and lifts me up. In Psalm chapter 115, verses 13 to 15, ‘He will bless those who fear the Lord, Both small and great. May the Lord give you increase more and more, You and your children. May you be blessed by the Lord, who made heaven and earth.’ There is increase that we can expect because of the blessing of the Lord. He will bless everyone who fears Him. Whether they are big, small, He will bless everyone and the blessing of the Lord brings increase. Expect this for yourself in your place of work, that God whom you fear, reverence, honor and serve, He will exalt you, promote you, bring increase and prosperity. Just as He blessed Isaac who sowed in the land and the Lord blessed him so he saw great increase, may you see increase in your place of work. Let’s pray, Father, thank you that you are the God who brings promotion, increase and success for us in our work. May each of us experience it, in Jesus’s name, Amen.
