Foes We Face Within

Read:  Psalm 7 / Proverbs 5 / Deuteronomy 20 / Rev. 14

Psalm 7:9,10 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just... God trieth the hearts and reins.  My defense is of God, which saveth the upright in heart. 
Proverbs 5:7-9 Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth. Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house: Lest thou give thine honor unto others, and thy years unto the cruel.
Deuteronomy 20:4 For the LORD your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.
Revelation 14:7  Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

The Lord who tries the hearts and reins
Is showing us the foes we face
To purge the wickedness that drains
The strength He gives to live by grace.  

The foes we face within are strong,
As God, who searches us, has shown. 
If we will fear Him all day long,
The Lord shall make His glory known.
