And this was the reason why he lifted up his hand against the king. Solomon built the Millo, and closed up the breach of the city of David his father. The man Jeroboam was very able, and when Solomon saw that the young man was industrious he gave him charge over all the forced labor of the house of Joseph. And at that time, when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him on the road.

The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. ...
Ecclesiastes 2:1-26 I said in my heart, “Come now, I will test you with pleasure; enjoy yourself.” But behold, this also was vanity. I said of laughter, “It is mad,” and of pleasure, “What use is it?” I searched with my heart how to cheer my body with wine—my heart still guiding me with wisdom—and how to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was good for the children of man to do under heaven during the few days of their life.

2 Peter 3:1-18 This is now the second letter that I am writing to you, beloved. In both of them I am stirring up your sincere mind by way of reminder, that you should remember the predictions of the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior through your apostles, knowing this first of all, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own sinful desires. They will say, “Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation.” For they deliberately overlook this fact, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of God, ...

For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. ...

The Bible contains numerous accounts of good performance resulting in promotions. Genesis records the remarkable story of Joseph, who advanced from being a prisoner in Egypt to the second-in-command under Pharaoh as a result of his good work. Jesus’ well-known parable of the talents (Matthew 25:14-30; Luke 19:12-27) has the master promoting the slaves who performed the best in increasing the talents with which they were entrusted. The slave who did not perform well was cast out. At the same time, the Bible also clearly reminds us of the grace of God, a grace that is freely given, without any merit of our own.
For the Christian who is dedicated to a life of service, promotions provide the opportunity to use one’s God-given talents to greater good in the workplace. At the same time, the heavy influence of performance in the awarding of promotions can easily change one’s focus from what God has done for us to what we have done for ourselves.
