Proverbs 17:2A wise servant shall have rule over a son that cause shame, and shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren. Discrimination is a flimsy excuse. Foolish or lazy men must shift the blame for slow career progress, so some cry about discrimination. They say they are held back because they are black, old, female, Hispanic, white, young, male, pierced, painted, or Christian, Muslim upper or lower caste. If you have not heard it, they will invent it. They blame the great enemy discrimination.Men in positions of authority need performance and productivity; they will reward those who help them achieve their objectives, regardless of their personal characteristics. Wisdom brings promotion and honour – foolishness brings demotion and shame,Diligence brings advancement; slothfulness brings starvation,A son has the inside track and his father’s heart. But an owner or employer demands performance!When King Solomon saw Jeroboam’s industry – intelligent, diligent, and systematic application of effort – though he was a young man, he promoted him into management. He did not give the job to any of his sons. A few years later Jeroboam was king of ten tribes of Israel, and Solomon’s favourite son Rehoboam had only two tribes!
