12: Deuteronomy in the New Testament – Singing with Inspiration

Flipping through the new quarterly, there are a number of titles that have the word ‘love’ in them – Love, to Be Loved; To Love God; He First Loved Us; To Love the Lord Your God; to name just a few. Hence, I believe a wonderful hymn to devote to as a theme will be
Hymn 349 – God Is Love. Our first Memory Text says “for God is Love”, 1 John 4:8. As the book of Deuteronomy is the book of the covenant, it would also be good to add
Hymn 347 – Built On the Rock as verse four tells us of God ‘Making with us His covenant”.

Oh the joy of being able to have the Everlasting Covenant which we find in
Hymn 469 – Leaning On The Everlasting Arms of our Lord Jesus.

The Word of God is written for each of us. I will continue to say
Give Me The Bible – Hymn 272. From this beautiful Word of God we may ask today
Savior, Teach Me – Hymn 193 so that we may bow down and worship Him:
Hymn 6 – O Worship the King as it in the last paragraph on Sunday’s study.

The Lord will help to
Lift Up Your Heads – Hymn 226 to see
Jesus, Tender Shepherd – Hymn 55 as we know that
Jesus Loves Me – Hymn 190. Some may ask the question
Does Jesus Care – Hymn 181 and yet this hymn answers the question just as does Monday’s study. Oh, to be
Like Jesus – Hymn 492 and “how He treated even the most despised in society”:
Hymn 540 – Gentle, Jesus, Meek and Mild and
Hymn 542 – Jesus, Friend So Kind.

Paul reminds us about the Sabbath:
Hymn 388 – Don’t Forget the Sabbath because
We Love Thy Sabbath, Lord – Hymn 390. We are reminded further on Tuesday of the cross, and all that it means to us:
Hymn 163 – At the Cross,
Hymn 237 – In the Cross of Christ I Glory knowing from God’s Word
By Christ Redeemed – Hymn 402,
Hymn 337/338 – Redeemed and
Hymn 179 – The Wonders of Redeeming Love.

If it wasn’t for the Prophets so long ago, we would not have the beautiful words of encouragement, reminders, chastisement, love, mercy and so many other things:
Hymn 413 – God Has Spoken By His Prophets.

As we draw near to studying the book of Hebrews next quarter (oh, 2022 is coming so quickly), Thursday opens with “Stay faithful to the Lord!”:
Hymn 602 – O Brother, Be Faithful with further reminders as the study progresses.

We are bound for The Promised Land! Hallelujah!! Come, Lord Jesus, come – very soon.

Blessings for a wonderful week ahead.

Another great resource is for when there is a hymn you wish to sing, but can’t find it in your hymnal. Go to https://www.sdahymnal.org and in the search bar type a special word in that is in the hymn. I am sure you will be amazed at the help you will be given.

2 Timothy 2:15 KJV – “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”

Amen!
