The Way of the LORD

“The way of the LORD”, that is, the way He goes and the actions He performs, the work He does, “is a stronghold to the upright” (Pro 10:29). The upright person feels perfectly safe in the way of God, under His guidance, protected from all kinds of dangers. He confidently surrenders everything to God, because he knows that He acts justly. That is what the Lord Jesus did (1Pet 2:23b). The same action of God that is a stronghold for the upright means “ruin” for those who work iniquity. God uses His power against them. He is just in His dealings both with the righteous and the ungodly.

“The righteous” will with certainty “never be shaken” (Pro 10:30). He will stand unwavering, continuously and receive all the promises promised to him by God. He will dwell in the land forever (Lev 20:22). But the wicked will get nothing of the future blessing God will give to His people on earth (Deu 4:25-27). They will be exterminated from the earth and will therefore “not dwell in the land”.
