THE PATH OF THE JUST
But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.
PROVERBS 4:18,19
You are "the just" when your life has been justified, in line with the will of God. When you take hold of the instruction of God and embrace it, you are allowing God to teach and guide you in the way of wisdom. When you receive the sayings of God, it is then that your life is blessed, preserved, lengthened. You are enlightened by the Holy Spirit to run the race that has been set before you.
Sometimes we have made wrong decisions and entered a path that "seemeth right," but we find out that it is full of wickedness and crookedness--leading to death. Each step on this path is difficult; each step on this path is rocky and uncertain. This path is dark and very dangerous. We are to turn from this path--for it is full of strife and violence.
God wants us to walk before him on the path that is full of light. He wants to lead us and guide us into all truth. He wants us to run the race that is set before us. He wants us to have confidence that He will be with us every step of the way.
