Commentary on Proverbs 28:14

Theological / Devotional

Feareth alway. The man who watches himself constantly and who consistently compares his conduct with the pattern set forth in the revealed will of God, so that any deviation from rightdoing may be instantly revealed and corrected, is the happy man (see Ps. 119:11; Phil. 2:12; James 1:22-25). He is happy because he is maintaining this vigilant attitude by the strength that comes from the indwelling of Christ through the Holy Spirit (see Eph. 3:16, 17; 1 Peter 1:22, 23; 1 John 3:9; Jude 24). Because of the power of evil and the presence of Satan to deceive and to lead into sin (1 Peter 5:8; Rev. 12:12), man can fight a successful battle against sin only through the help of heavenly agencies. But when those agencies are resisted by the hardened heart, calamity is sure to come.
