Discretion vs. Delusion

"Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous… he will guide his affairs with discretion… his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD" (Psalm 112:4-7).  "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths" (Proverbs 3:5,6).  "Because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved… God shall send them strong delusion" (2 Thessalonians 2:10,11).

The light in darkness shall arise

When hearts are guided by discretion

That God imparts to make us wise

As we acknowledge His direction. 

The one whose heart is firmly fixed

By trusting God in all his ways

Shall see the light that is not mixed

With dark delusion in his days. 

The Lord will lead in every path

With light He gives that's never dim,

For He who saved our souls from wrath

Shall not forsake those trusting Him. 

We thank You for discretion, Lord,

That turns us from the great delusion

Of those who willfully ignored

The truth they traded for confusion.
