"My eyes shall be on the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with Me; he who walks in a perfect way, he shall serve Me," Psalm 101.6.
The faithful mentioned in this passage are not those who are already faithful to God. If it were, they would already be dwelling with Him and there would be no need to search for them.
In fact, when God speaks about the faithful, He is referring to the husband who is faithful to his wife, the wife who is faithful to her husband, the boss who is faithful to his employee, the employee who is faithful to his boss, the man who is faithful to his business partner, etc. He is referring to people who are faithful to their personal commitments and their neighbors.
What kind of employer would hire a person knowing that he is unfaithful?
What kind of employee would like a boss that is unfaithful?
What kind of person would enter into a partnership with someone who is unfaithful?
What kind of woman would want to form a family with an unfaithful man?
What kind of employee would like a boss that is unfaithful?
What kind of person would enter into a partnership with someone who is unfaithful?
What kind of woman would want to form a family with an unfaithful man?
I doubt a man would want an unfaithful wife living with him. The fact is that when a person is faithful with all things that concern him here on Earth, he will be faithful to God as well. This is what happened to Abraham in Hur of the Chaldeans, where he lived. How many people lived there? And yet, God found faithfulness in Abraham and called him to dwell with Him.
As a result, Abraham had everything he needed and no one was able to destroy him.

God is searching the Earth for faithful people, will He find you?
When it comes to paying tithes, this should be regarded as a sign of faithfulness. And yet, not all who brings their tithes to the Altar are faithful to their neighbor.
They pay their tithes because of the benefits they will receive and not because they dwell with Him. Jesus called these people Pharisees, when He said:

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone," Matthew 23.23.
We believe that all tithe-givers are faithful, or at least they should be.
I hope God finds you.
I hope God finds you.
God bless you.
