Walk in the Light

Every day we walk among the demons.
Unseen, they’re the evil
hiding from the light.

Walk with goodness shining in your heart,
for evil cannot maim
a soul that’s doing right.

Know that he who shepherds you will be there.
His grace is your salvation
in the righteous fight.

Fear no evil; keep your faith and walk
uprightly, praying for
God’s guidance in your plight.

With the brightest light man could ever know,
( though you die) believe
your demons God shall smite.

Yes. God will protect us from demons, both external and internal. First, of course, we have to make our own effort to combat our evil inclinations...
