Proverbs 28:1 “The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.”
We may find ourselves sad to understand so well the meaning of this verse.
Sad, because we may have experienced this evil flight and known the fear of revealed sin.
Even the most secret sins can cause anxiety and cover up, haunting us at every turn and causing us to avoid righteousness.
Yet in moments of closeness with God, we feel as though we can do anything!
We, in times like these, can face any obstacle that life and the enemy put in our path, free from guilt and confident in victory.
Disobedience causes only hesitation and fear, while obedience gives us peace that we may face the battle without hindrance.
We ought to confess even the smallest sins each day and rid ourselves of those phantom footsteps.
We do not make these confessions for God’s sake; we make them for our own.
They show us our frailty while revealing the wonderful, loving character of our God.
When we are close to Him, nothing can cause our hearts to fail.
Proverbs 28:1 “The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.”
