9: Love-Driven Ministry — Singing with Inspiration

Oh, the beauty of studying this quarter’s lessons. We will learn so much of the Love of God (and our Saviour, Jesus) which stands out in so many pages of this quarter. Trying to choose just one hymn for the Theme Hymn was almost impossible, but these ones stood out all through the lesson pamphlet from which you may choose:
Hymn 79 – O Love Of God,
Hymn 349 – God Is Love and then in seeing God’s amazing love we can
Hymn 600 – Hold Fast and
Hymn 602 – O Brother, Be Faithful.

On Sunday, comfort is a word given to us that Paul’s thankfulness focuses on. God provided, and we find this in verse four in
Hymn 260 – Hover O’er Me, Holy Spirit. It was after this comfort that Paul was able to express such thankfulness as we can in sing in
Hymn 276 – Thanks To God,
Hymn 559 – Now Thank We All Our God and
Hymn 566 – Father, We Thank You. “God uses afflictions to teach us to trust in Him just as is given to us in
Hymn 279 – Only Trust Him.

Paul’s love is shown in the love he gave (Monday) and truly he teaches
‘Tis Love That Makes Us Happy – Hymn 579.

With the forgiveness learning on Wednesday, it is clear to see that we can ask
Forgive Our Sins As We Forgive – Hymn 299.

Paul “couldn’t stop talking about Jesus” (Thursday) and my prayer is that I will always be able to say
O How I Love Jesus – Hymn 248 and follow in Paul’s preaching “the Word of God in wholehearted love for Christ” –
Hymn 378 – Go, Preach My Gospel.

Dear Sister White writes clearly for us on Friday that the “greatest comfort to others” is “bringing sunshine wherever they go”:
Hymn 470 – There’s Sunshine In My Soul Today all because “A consecrated Christian life is ever shedding light and comfort and peace.”

May God bless you as you choose from the hymns being shared this week.

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.”
