Proverbs – Sayings Of SolomonMuestra
Keys to Promotion
God is a loving Father who is deeply interested in all aspects of our lives, down to the smallest details. He wants to give us kingdom revelations that will equip us to prosper in our families, friendships, employment, everything.
When we look at work, what are God’s kingdom secrets for success? Proverbs 22 contains a number of these secrets. Right at the top is “a beautiful reputation” (v. 1, TPT). The person who wants to prosper in the workplace must cultivate an honorable character. This takes time, so there are no shortcuts, but it begins with the child of God preferring a good reputation to a large bank account. As Solomon makes clear, it’s more important to be esteemed by others than it is to own great investments.
Once a believer has made a conscious choice to value reputation above riches, there are some practical steps that Solomon outlines. These all have to do with our character. The person of noble reputation steers well clear of people who are twisted and perverse, and gives troublemakers a wide berth. This person has strong and abiding values worth passing on to their children. They are generous to the poor and work hard. They are people of discipline and ethical integrity.
Having a beautiful reputation at home and work is one of the keys to promotion. Trustworthy people are given greater entrustments.
Creating a beautiful reputation takes time. How much do you value your reputation? Ask God to show you steps you can take to establish a better reputation.

Proverbs is the greatest book of wisdom ever written, mostly penned by the wisest man to ever live. God gave his servant Solomon this wisdom to pass along to us, his servants, who continue the ministry of Jesus, the embodiment of wisdom, until he returns in full glory. When Solomon pens a proverb, there is more than meets the eye! Who are these proverbs written to? This compilation of wisdom’s words is written to you! Throughout the book, we find words like “Listen, my sons. Listen, my daughters.” The book of Proverbs is written to us as sons and daughters of the living God. The teaching we receive is not from a distant god who tells us we’d better live right, or else. These are personal words of love and tenderness from our wise Father, the Father of eternity, who speaks right into our hearts with healing, radiant words. Receive deeply the words of the kind Father of heaven as though he were speaking directly to you. This 13–day reading plan, inspired by The Passion Translation Proverbs: Wisdom from Above, includes the sayings of Solomon from Proverbs 10-22.
