Divine Promotion

Reflection on the book, Daniel 2: 46-49

Word for Today:
Then the king gave Daniel, high honours and many great gifts, and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon and chief prefect over all the wise men of Babylon. v48

We see in Daniel that a man who serves God faithfully will be rewarded both in time and eternity.

The truth is that God owes no man, the reward may not be in material things or earthly promotions but as surely as the sun rises every day God rewards the man who serves him diligently.

From v.47 we see that our lives and ministries should be conducted in such a way that brings glory to God.

Men always seek for heroes who they will idolize and worship and the servant of God is not exempt from this.

However any glory given to us as a result of our gifts, talents or the manifestation of the miraculous power of God in our ministry should be returned back to God. Nothing we have is ours; all that we are and have are his.

Perhaps, where you are now, no one recognizes your service and you are getting weary and want to quit. Hold on, God has not forgotten you and just as the right time, he will uplift and reward you.

Prayer:
Dear Lord, I see that promotion comes from you alone; help me not to take glory due to you but be faithful and loyal where you have placed me.
