God puts you in situations so you can see what’s in you. He already knows what’s there. But if you’ll recognize it and make the adjustments, then you’re proving to Him that you have the character to be promoted. God will test you in private before He’ll promote you in public. How do you handle that coworker who always ignores you, doesn’t pay you any attention, but now they need your help? They asked you for a favor. It’s easy to say, “Sorry, I’m busy, loser. No thanks. You didn’t give me the time of day.” It’s a small thing, but it can keep you from something big. It’s revealing what’s in you. Pay attention to your attitude toward hurts, offenses, being wronged. It doesn’t mean you’re a bad person to feel offended or want revenge. You’re human. Those feelings come to us all. What I’m saying is there’s a better way to live. When you make the choice to override those feelings and bless those who have done you wrong, cover them when you could expose them, be good to them even though they weren’t good to you, you are positioning yourself for promotion.
