Satan’s status is described in Isaiah 14. A glaring characteristic is his ambition … “I will ascend … I will raise my throne … I will sit enthroned … I will make myself like the Most High.” [Is. 14:13,14]

Conversely, David, whose heart was after the Lord’s, said, “Promotion doesn’t come from the east, south, or west … it comes from the Lord.”

The healthiest posture is to do everything heartily as unto the Lord and allow Him to promote you. If you take it to yourself, any man can take it away. If God gives it to you, no man can take it away.
