For Righteousness' Sake

When facts aren't clear we need the Lord's light.
Gray areas "tarnish", though ever so slight.
We may not discern when "gray" first creeps in.
It may be so subtle, we don't call it sin.

Some may ignore it as "not all that bad".
Be careful of "gray"... it may be error-clad.
Test it beyond a hint of a doubt.
If you're not sure, then throw the "gray" out.

When "gray" is allowed, it opens a door
Which may rob your time, cause problems and more.
Stay with the facts of which you are sure,
For righteousness rests in that which is pure.

"He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake."
Psalm 23:3 KJV
