Looking For A Faithful Man
“Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find?” (Proverbs 20:6)
Today’s Morsel: It seems as though all the faithful men are fallen away. David prayed: “Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.” (Psalms 12:1) Not only have men lost their seriousness for holiness, but they are also starting to lose their seriousness for honesty, sincerity, truth, love, mercy, grace, and behavior. Paul told Timothy: “And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.” (2 Timothy 2:2) He also told him: “Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.” (1 Timothy 4:12); “It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him: If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us: If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.” (2 Timothy 2:11-13) Jesus Christ is faithful no matter what others think or say. The church is still looking for faithful men. Men who will abide by the word of the Lord. Men who will hold fast to sound doctrine and truth. Men who will not say one thing and do another, but rather men who will do what they say. Paul told the church at Corinth: “Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.” (1 Corinthians 4:2) Nothing sets the pace of a godly man more than one who is faithful.
Sing: He’s been faithful, faithful to me; looking back, His love and mercy I see. Though in my heart, I have questioned, even failed to believe; yet He’s been faithful, faithful, to me.
When my heart looked away, though many times, I could not pray, still, my God, He was faithful to me. The days I spent so selfishly, reaching out for what pleased me; even then, God was faithful to me. Every time I’d come back to Him, He was waiting with open arms, and I’d see once again.
He’s been faithful, faithful to me; looking back, His love and mercy I’d see; Though in my heart, I have questioned, even failed to believe; yet He’s been faithful, faithful, to me.
Thought For Today: “Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find none occasion nor fault; forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him.” (Daniel 6:4)
