"Promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But God is the Judge. He putteth down one, and setteth up another" (Psalm 75:6,7). "A just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief" (Proverbs 24:16). "Then said Samuel.... and the Lord hath done to him, as he spake by me: for the Lord hath rent the kingdom out of thine hand, and given it to thy neighbor, even unto David" (1 Samuel 28:26,17).
Promotion comes from God alone
In His own time and place.
He pulls the haughty from his throne,
And clothes him in disgrace.
Promotion comes by God's command,
And He exalts the humble.
He sets them up, He holds their hand,
And lifts them when they stumble.
Promotion comes not from the east,
Nor from the west or south,
But God lifts those esteemed the least,
And shuts the boaster's mouth.
