We live in a world where prominence is seen as a promotion. We are told the trajectory of our lives must always move upward and outward toward a place of greater visibility. In the Kingdom of God, the opposite can actually take place when the hand of God is on a person’s life. God’s promotion may lead us into a place of obscurity. In obscurity, lessons are learned that are not always encountered in a place of prominence.  Don’t seek a place, either prominence or obscurity. Only follow the leading of the Spirit. Allow God to provide the destination for your obedience. A destination is not your goal. Obedience to the voice of God is your goal no matter where that obedience may lead.
