Be Thou My Vision

A worship song by John Rutter. In Hebrews 12:1-3, Paul writes, "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart."

Paul encourages us to persevere through this life, just like the great men of faith did. How do we persevere? By fixing our eyes on Jesus, who is the object of our faith, and reason why we believe. Jesus must be our vision, and He is the ultimate example of a man who endured and persevered through this life, in obedience to His Father, for the sake of His glory, for the sake of our reconciliation. Keeping Him as our vision will help us keep the faith, even when life is tough. Be Thou my vision Lord!
