Welcome to the Days of Praise podcast, a daily devotional by the Institute for Creation Research. Who is Faithful? Most men will proclaim everyone his own goodness, but a faithful man, who can find? Proverbs 26. Faithfulness is like a rare and precious gem. It is difficult to find such a gem, though there are many who will offer their virtues as a substitute. Moses, however, was one such man, and Moses, verily, was faithful in all his house. So was Abraham, so then they, which be of faith, are blessed with faithful Abraham. Moses and Abraham were full of faith in God's Word; therefore, they were faithful to God's Word. The very word "faithful" means "full of faith." God is not impressed with those who boast of themselves in their qualifications or who belittle others. It is not good to eat much honey, so for men to search their own glory is not glory. Actions speak louder than words, and it is better to let one's works speak for themselves. Yay, a man may say, "You have faith, and I have works. Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works." The rare quality of faithfulness, firm and reliable commitment to one's convictions and responsibilities, in accordance with God's Word and God's leading, is proved in practice rather than proclamation. May God help us to be faithful servants, for it is required and stewards that a man be found faithful. It is quality, not quantity, of service that God measures. There is one glorious promise regarding faithfulness, not our faithfulness, but the faithfulness of our Savior. If we believe not, yet he abides faithful, he cannot deny himself for what if some did not believe. Shall their unbelief make the faith, literally faithfulness, of God without effect? God forbid. Yay, let God be found true, but every man, a liar.
