Be Thou My Vision
How can you find a fresh way to experience your daily quiet times with God? In Be Thou My Vision, Jonathan Gibson gives a liturgy for daily worship.
Spend Time with God
Purposefully planned in 31-day readings, this liturgical guide is designed to provide structure to the daily worship of your personal devotions or family worship times. Each daily reading includes a call to worship, adoration, confession, assurance, creed and catechism, the Gloria Patri, a prayer of illumination, Bible reading, intercessory prayer, and the Lord’s Prayer.
You can read each entry in 15–20 minutes. The entire book is just over 300 pages, and it will help you find focus and purpose, using historical prayers, creeds, and catechisms that have historically helped saints from the past be pointed to Christ. The beautiful cloth-over-board book is housed in an attractive slipcase, and you will want to take it off your shelf as you spend time with God.
Eager to Read, Enjoy the Moment
What I discovered when I was using this book was how it helped my concentration and focus. The structured format allowed for my mind to anticipate what was next, and it allowed my heart to hold fast to God. Because of the separate components, the devotions did not seem boring. Instead, I found myself eager to read and enjoy the moment.
While I enjoyed all of the Scriptural selections in the liturgy, my favorites were the “Assurance of Pardon” sections. Gibson prompts us to “Receive these words of comfort from God,” and each verse seemed like a fresh Word from the Lord. Daily meditating on God’s forgiveness and the comfort of Christ brought a new dimension to my relationship with Him.
See and Treasure God
These devotions will soften your heart, bring renewed energy, and engage your mind. In a steady stream of daily mediation, by day or by night, they will help you see and treasure God.
