How do you get ahead? How much of your energy at work is directed toward getting ahead? Our passage today tells us that God is the one who promotes or lifts up. And he also brings down. If you feel successful, or if you feel like a failure, you're right where God put you. He's in charge. When we trust him, we're in a position to pray for, appreciate, and serve others to make Jesus visible. We can trust God to manage our careers when we follow him.
