Psalms 1:6 For the Lord watches over the path of the godly, but the path of the wicked leads to destruction.
My Thoughts
Verses 1 and 2 tells says that we will have joy if we don't join in with people doing bad things and we delight in the law of the Lord... thinking about it day and night. It tells us God watches over us when we try!! When we think about what God wants us to do... when we spend our time with people that try to do what God wants....It doesn't say God watches over the people that are perfect!! King David did a lot of things wrong...but David always went to God and asked forgiveness when he messed up... David always sought after God.... David was always talking to God... David was not perfect but was considered godly because he tried!... because he spent time with God.... because he surrounded himself with Godly people. All we have to do for God to watch over us is to love God...and to try our best to do what God ask... We have to know what God ask..that is our responsibility.... when we take time for God, God takes time for us!
I picture it kind of like this. You are walking about your day talking to God, and listening... God says lets go down this road...and you listen to what God says.... now this road is a safe road.... it is full of things to enjoy... you might have to cross some pretty strong water....but God is there holding your hand and gets you across the waters... then a storm may come up...but God shelters you from the storm...things around you might get destroyed...but God has kept you safe. But if you are walking along without talking to God... you can so easily go down the wrong path ...the one that looks like a lot of fun, the one you know you shouldn't go down from the feeling in the pit of your tummy but you go anyway... God has been there all along...but you weren't talking to Him or listening.... that feeling in the pit of your tummy is God saying don't go!!... but you are not hearing... you go anyway.... God has to stay at the cross roads and wait for you to come back....it all seems OK... and there are fun things on this road..but then you come to the same rough waters....and God is not there to hold your hand... you get swept away.... surviving seems just so hard.... you get through that and the storm comes .... what happens then? But it is never too late to walk on the path God wanted us to walk on... we call out to Him and he says... "come this way"... and if you do, you can get on the protected path!!
We need God with us to watch over our path...and to have God there we have to invite Him.... we have to spend time with Him to know how to be godly... walking in God's protection is our choice. When we mess up and make a mistake... God is still there with us if we go to Him and say "God please forgive me I really messed up." That is what David did!
