Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find?- Proverbs 20:6
Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me. – Psalm 101:6
Who can find a faithful man?
Resolute, unshaken in his stand;
Humble, steady in his work –
No excuse to duties shirk.
Ardent is his trust in God;
Firmly treads his chosen sod.
Every chance to serve his Lord;
He will take, led by God’s Word.
He will lead his family;
Love them, help them happily.
His example shines the light,
On the path of truth, so bright!
Constant is his goal to bring
Others to the King of Kings;
Souls he’s rescued from sin’s fate,
He yearns to meet at Heaven’s gate.
Devotion to a faithful Lord,
Bids Him gladly bear his sword;
For he longs to use each day,
Eternal crowns to store away.
Though at times he feels alone,
And carries burdens on his own –
He toils on in the Savior’s field,
Resisting his own desires to yield.
Though some will lack his earnest drive,
This will not douce his zeal inside;
Loyal to his caring friend,
Jesus – who’s with him to the end.

For our God sees his faithful men –
Those on whom he can depend
To stay the course, in sun or rain;
To give their all for Heaven’s gain.

Will faithfulness be found in you?
When duty calls, will you come too?
Or will excuse and other plans,
Delay God’s search for a faithful man?
Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful. – I Corinthians 4:2
A faithful man shall abound with blessings… – Proverbs 28:20a
Nina came to know the Lord as a teenager, and is grateful for the Lord’s grace and mercy in her life as she has sought to grow in her relationship with Christ through the years.
She and her husband currently attend Lehigh Valley Baptist Church and enjoy being a part of the ministries there. Along with being a wife and homemaker, she is thrilled to be able to teach music lessons to a number of piano students in the area. Poetry and meditational or motivational writings based on scripture have also remained one of her passions through the years!

Wonderful message to your poem, Nina. Makes me very thankful for the many faithful men and leaders I have in my life. And the verse you mentioned in Proverbs is so true… real faithful men are humble and rarely toot their own horn :o) Thanks for writing it!
