HE PRESERVES JUDGMENT

Proverbs 2:8 He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.

A literal translation would say: To watch over the paths of right-ruling, and the way of His kind ones He guards.

To stand for justice and integrity in this day and age seems like a loosing battle. Anyone who tries to do it on his own fights a loosing battle. Here we have the promise that God, that through the giving of His Words of wisdom, He watches over those who, without question or pause will be willing to march into hell for a heavenly cause.

When we discover the truth of God’s Word, it always has the same effect: it takes us out of the lie. When we hear the truth of God in our hearts, we become like Noah who left his evil generation. We become like Abraham who left Ur not even knowing where he was going. We become like Moses who despised the riches of Egypt. We also become like Paul who left the pharisaic lies when he found his Messiah.

Even today, when we finally find the path of God in our hearts, it requires a forsaking of the old, and an embracing of the new. It is pointless to try to compromise one to keep the other, because lies cannot stand the truth, and darkness flees at the sight of light.

Finding the truth and right judgment of God always leads to problematic situations in our lives, but here is His promise given to us if we follow the path of His judgments:
He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.
