Clarity Before The Crown

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

In an age dominated by deception, disinformation, and digital delusion, clarity of vision has never been more critical. Prophecy tells us of strong delusions coming (2 Thessalonians 2:11) and we’re watching them take root. The world sees with clouded eyes, hearts blinded by pride and false peace, but the faithful must fix their eyes on the only true source of light.

We don’t just need better strategies—we need better sight. Not physical, but spiritual. The Lord must be our vision, not just our belief. If He’s not our focus, something else will be, and in the days to come, that “something else” may look good, feel right, and even appear religious. But only His presence (by day or by night) will guide us through the shadows into truth.

Be Thou my wisdom, and Thou my true word

I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord

Thou my great Father, and I Thy true son

Thou in me dwelling and I with Thee one

Wisdom will be a dividing line in the last days. Not worldly wisdom, but heavenly insight. Discernment rooted in the Word of Truth. When Jesus warned in Matthew 24 that many would be deceived, it wasn’t a call to retreat. It was a call to anchor in the Word. To walk so closely with the Father that no counterfeit voice can confuse us.

True wisdom is relational, not intellectual. It flows from abiding with the One who knows the end from the beginning. When God’s Word dwells richly in us (Colossians 3:16), we become not only hearers, but soldiers equipped to discern the lies of Babylon. This intimacy is not optional for the watchman. It’s mission-critical.

High King of heaven, my victory won

May I reach heaven’s joys, O bright heaven’s sun

Heart of my own heart, whatever befall

Still be my vision, O ruler of all

The war is won, but the battle rages. Christ has secured the victory, yet we are still called to endure, to hold the line until He comes. Our hope is not built on comfort in this world, but in the promise of the next.

In an era of global turmoil, digital idols, and beast-system blueprints, this must remain our prayer: Whatever befall… still be my vision. When persecution increases, when freedom fades, when the darkness deepens—He remains our High King of Heaven. And as the world prepares to follow a false king, we follow the Risen One who will return in glory and truth.

Heart of my own heart, whatever befall

Still be my vision, O ruler of all

When the trumpet sounds, what will we see? For those who have walked with Him, the answer is clear: the One who was our vision all along. We don’t follow prophecy to predict. We follow it to prepare. And in the preparation, we fix our gaze not on events, but on the Person of Christ.

No matter what comes—economic collapse, war, persecution, even death—our prayer is this: Be my vision. Rule my heart. Stay my guide. For the remnant bride, this is the anthem. The mission is not mere survival—it is steadfast devotion. Our unwavering allegiance to Christ will one day be rewarded with glory, when faith becomes sight, and the Ruler of all is revealed as the Light of all.
