Proverbs 11:5
The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way:
But the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.
As gravity calls elements towards the earth; as liquids send gases upwards, and as the hand of God mightily synchronizes the movements of the planets, also it is with spiritual laws. Why contend against the way of darkness? Why be anxious and fret? History is our prime witness of the words of this proverb. Kings and would-be presidents need to lend a keen ear to our text today. The laws of physics cannot be changed; neither can spiritual dynamics.
Let the wicked continue in his wickedness. Let him live his own way. Let him eat the forbidden food, drink the dangerous brew, and indulge in his immorality. The very intemperance of his life will comeback to bite him in the end. There is no need to gather the great courts of judgment; there is n o need to convey all the judges of the earth to exercise their powers against him. Why, he would delight in the attention. Just look, his own actions daily seal the verdicts of his fate.
Righteousness does not need to fight wickedness. Darkness flees of itself when we turn on the light. Let us not fret and worry about the way of the wicked. Let the righteousness of the One who was called the Son of Man direct our way. Let the Messiah be our righteousness and our ways will be perfected in God.

He has won the battle against darkness; and we will celebrate the victory with Him in His Pavilion.
