Hymn: “Be Thou My Vision” – Chelsea Moon
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.
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.
Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise. Thou my 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, oh, bright heaven’s sun. Heart of my own heart, whatever befall, Still be my vision, oh Ruler of all.

Consider the following three translations of Proverbs 29:18:
Where there is no vision, the people are unrestrained, But happy is he who keeps the law. (New American Standard Bible – NASB)
Where there is no revelation, people cast off restraint; But blessed is the one who heeds wisdom’s instruction. (New International Version – NIV)
Where there is no vision, the people perish: But he that keepeth the law, happy is he. (King James Version – KJV)

Song: “When Will I Ever Learn” – Phil Keaggy
…You brought it to my attention that everything was made in God. Down through centuries of great writings and paintings, everything was in God. Seen through architecture of great cathedrals down through the history of time, is and was in the beginning and evermore shall ever be.
When will I ever learn to live in God? When will I ever learn? He gives me everything I need and more. When will I ever learn?
…And up on the hillside it’s quiet where the shepherd is tending his sheep, and over the mountains and the valleys and the countryside is so green. Standing on the highest hill with a sense of wonder, you can see everything is made in God. Head back to the roadside and give thanks for it all…
