For not from the east nor from the west nor from the south come promotion and lifting up. But God is the Judge! He puts down one and lifts up another. Psalms 75:6-7 (AMPC)
Since God is the one who promotes then you don’t have to bother about people’s opinion of you. The world’s estimation of you shouldn’t move you.In all your dealings your concern should be “what has God got to say about this?” Joseph refused to sleep with another man’s wife not merely for fear that the man would find out or what people would say but rather not to do great wickedness, and sin against God – Genesis 39:9. Joseph knew God as his promoter and so lived conscious of God and focused on pleasing Him.Let God promote you as you highly regard His opinion and estimation of you and all your actions.
