"WANTED: Faithful Men"

 

Proverbs 20:6 "Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find ?"

     The need in our day is not for men who are strong or handsome, having great talents, remarkable abilities, or the aptitude to logically persuade others. The need is not for men who are the life of the party, play sports, or have the last word for everything. The need of our day is, however:

For men who are true and loyal to their wives and families and, most of all, to GOD.

For men who keep their word no matter what the cost.

For men who are trustworthy and have integrity and moral fidelity.

For men who have an unshakable resolve to do what is right.

The need of our day is for men who are godly and faithful.

     The crisis of faithful men -- The psalmist David cried out in Psalm 12:1 (pictured above), "HELP, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men." Read today's text again. Men like to brag and talk about themselves, trying to impress others with their abilities and personalities; but, in reality, many have a sick moral life and homes that are in shambles. Where are the faithful men ? 

     The call for faithful men -- "Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful" (1st.Corinthians 4:2). Men need to have a consuming desire to be true to GOD. Unfaithfulness abounds like fool's gold, but faithfulness is pure gold !

     The character of faithful men -- Men must always tell the truth. "A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies" (Proverbs 14:5). A faithful man is faithful in the little things as much as he is in the big things (Matthew 25:21; Luke 16:10-13).

     The crown of faithful men -- "The LORD preserveth the faithful (Psalm 31:23). A faithful man shall abound with blessings" (Proverbs 28:20). The LORD GOD is looking for faithful men whom HE may send to faithfully do HIS will. Are you the man HE is looking for: "Also, I heard the voice of the LORD, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for US ? Then said I, Here am I; send me." (Isaiah 6:8 pictured above). Be that man ! PNF

Your servant in CHRIST,
