The Way Of The Wicked

"The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord; but the prayer of the upright is his delight.  The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the Lord; but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness."  Proverbs 15:8-9.  All of us have two paths that we can take in life.  We can either choose to be wicked or righteous, but we can not choose both.  God, of course, wants us to choose the way of righteousness.  As we choose this path, we delight in His law and obey His instructions.  God will delight in us, and He will hear our prayers unto Him.  The way of wickedness is an abomination in His sight.  The character of God cannot delight in the way of wickedness.  God turns His face from those who do not delight in Him and follow His rule of law.  God will not accept the sacrifices that the wicked make unto Him.  Our sacrifice is accepted depending upon the character that we possess.  We cannot claim to know God if we are not guided by the instructions that He gives for righteousness.  Which path is ours?  Are we an abomination or a delight?
