2: God’s Grand, Christ Centred Plan – Singing with Inspiration

The book of Ephesians does show us “How to Follow Jesus in Trying Times”:
Hymn 623 – I Will Follow Thee, My Saviour so that our actions will always speak louder than our words.

Sabbath afternoon’s introduction to our week of study explains the beginning of the “letter to the Ephesians with a majestic thank-you note, praising God for the blessings He has poured out”. There are many hymns of praise:
Hymn 1 – Praise To The Lord,
Hymn 4 – Praise My Soul The King of Heaven,
Hymn 11 – The God Of Abraham Praise,
Hymn 14 – Let Us Praise The Name Of The Lord,
Hymn 20 – O Praise Ye The Lord,
Hymn 25 – Praise The Lord, His Glories Show,
Hymn 26 – Praise The Lord! You Heavens Adore Him,
Hymn 28 – Praise We The Lord,
Hymn 29 – Sing Praise To God, and
Hymn 30 – Holy God, We Praise Your name to name just a few.

We are thankful that when Jesus went to Heaven He left us the Holy Spirit, as we find on Sunday:
Hymn 261 – The Spirit Of The Lord Revealed,
Hymn 268 – Holy Spirit, Light Divine and
Hymn 266 – Spirit of God. May we all listen to the Holy Spirit and share
A Song of Heaven and Homeland – Hymn 472.

The staggering cost of our redemption and the lavish forgiveness given to us is found in verse 3 of
Hymn 601 – Watchmen, On The Walls of Zion with
Forgive Our Sins As We Forgive – Hymn 299 all because there is
Power In The Blood – Hymn 294 of our Lord Jesus Christ.

It is with God’s blessing “to unite everything, everywhere, in Jesus:
Hymn Sent Forth By God’s Blessing – Hymn 407. (Tuesday)

Once again our praise songs come forth on Wednesday (see listing above), and Thursday refers back to our hymns of the Holy Spirit on Sunday (as above).

So, dear people, be encouraged to go forward and
“Lift up the trumpet and loud let it ring, Jesus IS coming again” – Hymn 213.

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/Search 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!
