Vision

Daily Gratitude Year 13 - Day 94: Today, I am grateful for vision.

"Be Thou My Vision" is one of my favorite hymns. The words perfectly focus on a heart that focuses to see God. It is excellent. 

As we get older, we often require help with our vision. My readers are always nearby. I have many pairs. I can see far away, but I cannot read or see well up close without them. 

How many times is life like that?  When trials, struggles, and hard times are up-close and personal, we do not understand. Our vision is blurred by what is happening in the present moment. 

God sees both. Let Him be our vision. In the distance, there will be some clarity. Some things may never be entirely clear to us, but when we ask Him to "be our eyes," the world looks different. 

"My vision is blurred by grief; my eyes are worn out because of all my enemies." Psalm 6:7

In the trials and the celebrations we can pray "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.

Time to take on the day! 

Today, I am grateful for vision.
