Walk the Righteous Path

Psalm 37:7 & 8

Be still before the Lord and wait patiently,
Fret not of he that prospers so abundantly;
A man who thrives on corruptive devises,
Are not prepared for Heavenly surprises;
Cease from anger and forsake the wrath,
Fret not and just walk the righteous path.
There are influences from all around you,
Bombarding and piercing right through;
Temptation is coming in from all sides,
You are feeling torn apart as it divides;
You're approached by a scantly clad lady;
Business deals that seems a little shady,
Offering a unique pleasurable experience,
Tempting you from the family obedience;
Prior to a detour from the path you stray,
Ask God to give you strength as you pray;
He will renew your spirit to help resist,
Enticements no matter how they persist;
Then He will guide you in the aftermath,
As you walk down the righteous path.
