Friday! Proverbs!

Many a person proclaims his own loyalty, 

but who can find a trustworthy person?

Proverbs 20:6 CSB

I read this proverb and thought "yep I know someone like that..."

Someone who has said they'll stick with you, stick by you, stay the course...and then hasn't.

There's a better job, friend, lifestyle, family, business, spouse, church, flatmates...and they're moving on, moving up, moving out.

They proclaim their loyalty, but their actions say something else.

Or they proclaim their loyalty, but talk about you with words that betray that loyalty.

And then, having mulled it over, I wonder where my words, my actions, have shown that I'm not trustworthy.

Moving on, moving up and moving out may be good and right things to do, but in light of this proverb, it makes me consider what I say, and the motives of my heart.
