Finding Faithfulness

"Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find?" (Proverbs 20:6). "And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his Lord shall make ruler over His household, to give them their portion of meat in due season? Blessed is that servant, whom his Lord when He cometh shall find so doing" (Luke 1:42,43).

A faithful man, Lord, who can find?
They seem to be in short supply,
Though most imagine in their mind
That surely they would qualify.

Who then is a faithful one,
A steward whom the Lord calls wise?
Who labors till the work is done,
And lives for God 's approving eyes?

How blest is he in such a case!
How joyful is he in the Lord,
Who daily draws upon God's grace
To find his faithfulness restored!
