The Same Vision Over Again!

Two years ago, I decided to use the hymn, "Be Thou My Vision" as the guiding theme for my sharing. As I was worshiping God at last Sunday's service, I was just thinking about a new theme for my blog sharing for the new year.

Just as I thought that my theme based on "Be Thou My Vision" had run its course, the worship leader sang the hymn.

Now this is unusual. Our church sings hymns only occasionally as contemporary songs are usually sung. But today, a number of hymns were sung.

Suddenly I realized that God was using the worship session to realign my theme for blog sharing .... letting God be my vision always!

Let me reproduce the hymn in full and let God speak to you too.

Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art
Thou my best Thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.

Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight;
Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my Delight;
Thou my soul’s Shelter, Thou my high Tower:
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.

Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
Thou mine Inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.

High King of Heaven, my victory won,
May I reach Heaven’s joys, O bright Heaven’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.

Let's realign our vision. Let's focus on God, let Him be our thoughts at all times!

God bless.
