"No one from the east or the west or from the desert can exalt a man. But it is God who judges; He brings one down, He exalts another." Psalms 75:6-7 (NIV)
The Psalmist makes the point that God is the judge. It is He that can exalt a man or put him down.
A lot of us complain because we did not get the position or promotion that we feel that we deserved. We fail to realize that God is in charge, that is who we are working for, and He is the one who judges us. He decides who He wants to promote or demote. Maybe we need to please Him more and "seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." Matthew 6:33 (NIV)
