Proverbs 28:1

The wicked flee when no one pursues them, but the righteous are as bold as a lion.

A righteous person knows where they stand with God and have confidence in the direction they are going. A person without knowledge of God doesn’t know what belongs to them. They don’t know the promises of God through salvation. It is vital to keep the promises of God in our hearts and our minds. It is impossible to get a person off course when they keep their minds focused on the map (Bible).
