Bible Verses About Career Advancement
Promotion and advancement, Scripture teaches, ultimately come from God rather than from human striving alone. Scripture declares: "And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian." (Genesis 39:2). The Word affirms: "For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south." (Psalms 75:6). As it is written: "And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;" (Colossians 3:23). Work with excellence, stay faithful in small things, and trust God to lift you up in his time.
