“Be Thou My Vision”
be thou my vision
by Dona Hake
 
 
 

“Be Thou my vision, oh 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”

(A portion of lyrics from “Be Thou My Vision”)

 
 
 
 
 

This is just a few verses from the beautiful hymn “Be Thou My Vision.” I believe the more we purpose to keep our eyes steadfast on Him, the more we will see clearly and see as He sees. As we take hold of His commands we can begin to walk with more courage and confidence. Many times if things seem foggy and unclear to us we can fear making one step in front of the other. Yet the more we have clear understanding we know by His Word that He will broaden our path and we can run the race with joy and purpose in our hearts!  When  we wake and when we lie down to sleep, let His precious presence be our light!  As we walk in His commands, stay humble, and walk by faith,  we can be assured that our hearts will be given insights from above.

 
 
 
 
 
 

” I run the same path as your commandments
because you give my heart insight.”
Psalm 119:32 (CEB)

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Paul prayed this prayer in the book of Ephesians, and I leave this with you to meditate upon and pray for yourself and those that you pray for!
 
“My prayer is that light will flood your hearts and that you will understand the hope that was given to you when God chose you. Then you will discover the glorious blessings that will be yours together with all of God’s people.”     Ephesians 1:18 (CEV)
