As we work our way through the book of Joshua this quarter, we will see that he is ready to
Fight The Good Fight – Hymn 613 and to move forward into the Promised Land. We may still use last quarter’s theme hymn as this will pop up throughout this quarter as well:
Hymn 620 – On Jordan’s Stormy Banks I Stand. These two hymns will resound throughout the quarter.
“Very often we neglect to carve out quality time to renew our commitment to God and to pause and express our thankfulness” says Sabbath afternoon’s introduction, so let us now pause and sing 
Hymn 559 – Now Thank We All Our God.
Sunday’s study time reminds us that “Because they recognized that the battle belongs to the Lord, He is the One who grants them victory and success” all because
Faith Is The Victory – Hymn 608.
We are taught on Monday that all the acts that preceded the Passover “marks the beginning of a new era in Israel’s history”. Can we see new beginnings in our lives? This is a question in
Hymn 342 – Is This A Day Of New Beginnings?
The book of Joshua (Tuesday) “has the mandate of leading Israel to a life of covenantal obedience”. Today I can ask
Father, Lead Me Day By Day – Hymn 482, so that I can be faithful to You. I will the see that
Faith Is The Victory – Hymn 608 all because
My Faith Has Found A Resting Place – Hymn 623.
We are clearly reminded with the set up of the sanctuary (Thursday) that “the worship of God takes center stage and preeminence”:
Hymn 6 – O Worship The Lord and
Hymn 83 – O Worship The King.
Sister Ellen White tells of Joshua’s story and the setting up of the altar and the sacrifices at Mount Ebal, which all pointed to “the atonement of Christ, represented by the altar of sacrifice”.
What A Wonderful Saviour – Hymn 335 we have.
