Proverbs 20:6

Most men will proclaim each his own goodness, But who can find a faithful man?

Proverbs 20:6

There are few people viewed more despicably than traitors, someone who turns on family, friends, or a nation. By contrast, faithfulness, allegiance, fidelity, devotion, and loyalty are words that describe a life all would admire and God looks for from His own. Here, in today’s verse, the word faithful is the word for trustworthiness or loyalty. It is important in our relationships to be trusted and loyal. That is even more so when our loyalty to God is in view. 

Loyalty to God is to love Him will all of our hearts, souls, and minds. David prayed for his son, Solomon, that he would be loyal and faithful (1 Chronicles 29:19) and we read of kings that were loyal to the Lord while others were “right with the Lord but not with loyal heart” (2 Chronicles 25:1-2).

So how about you? Does your life put “loyalty to the Lord” or would that be an overstatement?    

Longing in my heart to be loyal to the King,
