3: Pride Versus Humility — Singing with Inspiration

Growing in a Relationship With God has many wonderful steps in it. There are several beautiful hymns from which to choose as a theme due to all the changes that come along when we grow in our relationship with God. On page 31 we see that “the most powerful weapon is prayer” to help us through our growing times. Therefore, we will wish to sing
Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus – Hymn 290 to keep learning every minute of the day in our journey. To help with this journey, Lord,
Give Me The Bible – Hymn 272 to instruct even more with the Holy Spirit, encouraging along the way:
Hover O’er Me, Holy Spirit – Hymn 260.

Oh, that we may be like the gentleman in the back of the church (Monday) who whispers, “in desperation, ‘Please, Lord, be merciful to me, a sinner!’ ” just as we can sing in
Hymn 297 – God, Be Merciful To Me. A little later in this day’s study, we are encouraged by 1 John 1:9 that we can be cleansed from all our unrighteousness and can ask for forgiveness in
Hymn 299 – Forgive Our Sins As We Forgive. Sister White then inspires us by saying, “The closer we draw to Christ, the more we realise our sinfulness and unworthiness”. So, let us sing
I Would Draw Nearer To Jesus – Hymn 310.

The story of Moses on Tuesday teaches us more about being humble as do
Hymn 363 – Lord, Whose Love In Humble Service and
Hymn 406 – Love Consecrates The Humblest Act. Moses was called by God and he followed. Let us choose to say
I Will Follow Thee – Hymn 623.

When we “Look at Him” on Thursday, we see that Jesus “gave up heaven to die for the human race”:
Hymn 281 – I Gave My Life For Thee, and it is there at Calvary that Jesus Paid It All – Hymn 184.

Please continue to search the scriptures this week to be blessed, and to bless others.

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.”
