For the Lord knows the way of the righteous,
But the way of the wicked will perish.
But the way of the wicked will perish.
Psalm 1:6 New American Standard
Bible (NASB)
This verse is at the end of
the first Psalm, which contrasts the wicked and the righteous. The word for
knows could also be translated “approves” or “has regard for”. The way the
righteous live is approved by God because it is godly, but He also pays
attention to it, guiding and guarding them along the path helping them and
keeping them from stumbling. Those who have rejected God do not have that
protection and help. Regardless of what happens in this life, the way of
unbelievers will end in destruction because they have chosen to reject the
Savior. They chose the way of destruction over the way of the Savior. The way
that we find approval from God is to live like Him, to follow His path. He will
guide and guard those whose hearts belong to Him. Which way are you on? Where
does your path lead? Do you have the help and protection of the Savior?
