Self-promotion is common; genuine faithfulness is rare. Most people speak of their own goodness, but talk is not the same as character. The proverb asks a searching question: real faithfulness — consistent, loyal, trustworthy goodness — is hard to find. It is an implicit call to be that rare, faithful person.
Memory phrase: Be truly faithful always.
Talk about it: What is the difference between talking about being good and actually being good?
Prayer: God, make me truly faithful, not just someone who talks about it.
