That whole line of things always struck me as an attempt to shame you into having aspirations, as if to say you’re not valuable unless you aspire to climb the corporate ladder. As an engineer, I never wanted to manage, and sadly that’s the only path upward in most big companies. Shows what they value—not the employee who produces, but the manager who doesn’t actually produce ANYthing. Except maybe heartburn.
2 Peter 3:10 “But the day of the Lord will come as a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a rushing noise, and the elements, burning with heat, shall be dissolved, and the earth and the works in it shall be burnt up. 11 All these things then being to be dissolved, what ought ye to be in holy conversation and godliness, 12 waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, by reason of which the heavens, being on fire, shall be dissolved, and the elements, burning with heat, shall melt? 13 But, according to his promise, we wait for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwells righteousness.”
Oh, THIS should be a good arc…
