Did you God knows the path we are on? Psalm 1-2

Psalms 1:6 (NASBStr)

For the Lord knows the way of the righteous,

But the way of the wicked will perish.

Psalm chapter one is both the introduction to the Book of the Psalms and the introduction to the theme of the book.   Psalms is the book of praise to recognize what God has done for us and to offer back, in song, praise and adoration to Him.   The writer has just told us how great God is and that if we obey Him and believe in Him we will flourish.   Those who reject Him will not.   The conclusion of the Psalm is in the above verse.   Depending on your relationship with God, this verse can be a strengthening thought or a scary thought.   The fact that God knows the "way" of the righteous is a comforting thought to the righteous.   The fact that He knows the "way" of the wicked and that they will perish can't be pleasant to those who reject God.  But, then again, if you reject God you will reject this truth, as well.   But, to the righteous, there is a rest and assurance knowing that God is watching us and is aware of the path we take.   He oversees our path and directs us.    The Hebrew word for the word "know" in the above line is the same word used for intimate knowledge of someone.   The Lord knows the way ... that means He has intimate knowledge of our path.  He knows us and the path we take.   He makes sure that this path is safe for us and will take us to the destiny He has for us.   That is a restful thought.
