Proverbs 13:6 (NASV)
Righteousness guards him whose way is blameless,
but sin overthrows the wicked.
When we think of protection we might think of law enforcement coming to our aide. Or, we might think of the secret service who guard our dignitaries. We might even think of a mother who watches over her children. In the above verse we are told that those who find themselves blameless are being guarded by "righteousness." In contrast the wicked (not blameless) are overthrown by their sin. This truth is the essence of the Proverbs. Those who, by faith in God, are believers and are declared blameless by Him, will find themselves protected by that very righteousness they have been given. But, those who reject Him and remain in their sin will find that their sin is the very thing that hunts them and haunts them. We are protected when we believe in His righteousness for us. We are guarded by He who is Righteous.
