Proverbs 22:29 KJV
Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.
The Bible says that the man who is diligent in his business will stand before kings and not mean men.
The first thing that comes to mind is that he will be promoted above the average person; the word "mean" can refer to the average.
However there is something more to this than that. The Hebrew word translated "mean" is one that is defined as "dark" and "obscure."
And then there is the word "kings" that the Bible says the diligent man will stand before. There is only one king I desire to stand before, that is before my Sovereign Lord Jesus Christ.
I see the passage then this way; the one who is diligent about the Father's business, which is prayer and the ministry of the Word, will stand before the King of Kings, Jesus Christ and not be numbered among the dark souls of this world.
