“For the Lord watches over the path of the godly, but the path of the wicked leads to destruction.” -Psalm 1:6 (NLT)
This is a David song. It brings us comparative promises summed up in its last verse. The psalm compares the consequences of following the path of wicked council and scoffers against the blessings and rewards of godly living. There is solid and provocative truth here. Believe and be counted among the assembly of the righteous or do not believe and perish. Those who are on the path which leads to destruction will be destroyed. All have the opportunity to turn off the way of the wicked and follow, by faith, the way of the righteous. It is our Lord who knows the way of the righteous and it is He who watches over the path of the godly. That is a promise that we have from God. It’s like we have an advance team making sure the pitfalls are being taken care of. The path of the righteous or godly is not the way of the sinners. Seated in the assembly of the righteous is not a seat among the scoffers. With the Lord watching over our path, need no council from the wicked. When we choose God’s path He becomes our path maker and wise council.
