Who can find a faithful man?

“Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find?” - Proverbs 20v6

There is no problem finding a man who will tell you how good he is. Most men will indeed tell everyone just how good he really is. If there is one thing we don’t lack it is people telling us how wonderful they are.

Yet, there is a test. That very clear test is faithfulness. Faithfulness is a rare thing, so rare in fact that God says, “Who can find a faithful man.” Jesus said, “When I come will I find faith on the earth?” Faithfulness is one thing that God requires – “It is required in stewards that a man be found faithful.
God wants us to be faithful – pure and simple. At the end of the day the mark of success will be if we can hear Jesus say, “Well done though good and faithful servant.
