Do leaders seek you out? Proverbs 22

Proverbs 22:29
Do you see a man skilled in his work?
He will stand before kings;
He will not stand before obscure men.


God rewards people who know how to do their jobs.   Solomon tells us that a person highly skilled in his/her occupation will have a prestigious position before those in authority.   Skill will always be rewarded by God.   Those in authority are trained to recognize skill around them.  The best rulers should surround themselves with skilled people.  Obscured people (those of low degree) won't recognize skilled people.  They see all people the same.   Those of low degree don't recognize skilled people when they see them.   If we have skill we will be sought out.   The gifts God gives to us, when developed, trained and perfected will and can be rewarded.   That reward comes, sometimes, through the recognition of and by men.   God uses men to reward us.  So, when we develop our skill sets and allow God to work through us to mature those skill sets, God will reward us by placing us in positions recognized by the world.  Skill gets recognition.
