Lifting up the Light

Read:  Psalm 4 / Proverbs 20 / 1 Chronicles 3 / 2 Cor. 11

Psalm 4:6 Many ...  say, Who will show us any good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us. 
Proverbs 20:9,24 Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?... Man's goings are of the LORD; how can a man then understand his own way?
1 Chronicles 3:9-14 The sons of David... Solomon's son was Rehoboam... Hezekiah... Manasseh...  Josiah his son.
2 Corinthians 11:3-4 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. For if he... preacheth another Jesus... ye might well bear with him.

Amid the sayings of the lost
Are those which say it is not known
When lines of good or bad are crossed,
Since absolutes cannot be shown. 

The Lord is lifting up the light
As clearly as in David's day
That we may show the wrong and right,
Confirmed by what the Scriptures say.
