In Psalm 49, King David exclaims:
Why should I fear the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?
This highlights the history of many of the kings of Israel. It shows how their approach to war was directly related to their confidence in examining their consciences and ensuring their uprightness with God.
But what exactly are these, “days of evil” mentioned by David? They are the days when the unexamined sins of each our lives reaches a point of personal crisis.
