Seduced By Another Voice

There's a rage sweeping the nations
Particularly the USA.
A casualness towards God Almighty
Indifference of His ways.

This too it happened to David 
When seduced by the enemy's voice.
Taking a casual census
Where pride did cause a great storm.

It started as just a little whisper
Then spiritual pride slowly grew
Ignoring the warnings of his servant
Voicing concern of coming doom.

It's now in our history a mocking
It's filtered down through the elect
Robbed of dignified reverence 
As if God would not recompense.

Even now the "strong" have been allured
For many are now lulled to sleep
The voice that's caught their attention
Has smiled with the enemy's teeth.

"Despised" is the word God used with David
Meaning simply "to not take seriously"
The ways of God and His holiness
Now signs and wonders deceive.

Be cautious when we're at the pinnacle
Of what does look like success
Dare not think we are exempt now
From the deception of Satan's breath.

For straying just even a morsel
From truth from beginning to end
Discern the heart of the Master
Before Satan raises his head.
