A diligent man is one who the scripture talks about as a man who will stand before kings and not mere men.
This shows that our diligence can make a way for us, and get us noticed.
Diligence should sharpen expertise.
Expertise means we have the developed skill in a certain area(s) and we have become really good at what we do.
As we are diligent at what we do, we get better at what we do, and expertise increases.
God has a way of making His obedient children come into some kind of prominence and recognition.
One of the ways He has always done this is by granting His people favor in high places.
He orchestrates scenarios where the expertise, the skill, the ability, the graces and talents He has put inside His sons and daughters are needed or in demand especially by people in high positions.
Joseph stood before Pharoah, Daniel stood before Nebuchadenezzer, Jesus stood before Pontius Pilate, and Paul the Apostle stood before Governor Felix, Governor Festus and many other dignitaries during his ministrations.
The shepherd boy who evolved into the legendary king David of Israel stood before king Saul at a time the kind needed a skillful musician.
David the shepherd boy was a skillful and diligent player of the harp, it brought him before the king of his land.
There is someone watching you.
There are people watching you.
"There is someone watching you who is capable of greatly blessing you"
So, keep doing what you're doing right and keep going!
God is the Master planner, the Master orchestrator, and the Master creator.
He has a good plan for your life, He can orchestrate scenarios no man could have thought up which will benefit you, He can create scenes through which He will be glorified in your life.
No man could orchestrate the promotion Joseph had, only God could have orchestrated that scenario.
Only God could have lifted Joseph the way Joseph was lifted, only God could have planned that kind of life for him.
Only God could have weaved that kind of story for Daniel and given him the excellent spirit that made him serve under four kings including the Cyrus the Great.
Only God could have planned the missionary journey of the Apostle Paul that led to him sharing the gospel people of both low and high standing.
Only God could have made the building of Solomon's temple a reality, it was one of a kind and there was nothing like it upon the earth, it was one of Solomon's greatest accomplishments.
Solomon was diligent with the use of the wisdom God had given him and kings from nations of the world came to learn from him.
There were skilled artisans who stood before Solomon whom Solomon commissioned for the design of the temple, their diligence and skill at what they did brought them before king Solomon.
Hiram was the lead craftsman who was responsible for the building of the temple, he was skilled in architecture and design and lead the team of other craftsmen.
As we get diligent at developing our skill, and diligent at using our skill, talents and abilities the Lord can bring us into favor with those who require our expertise especially men of good and high standing.
This is a Biblical fact.
