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.

Just as all the people of Israel were marching to their Promised Land, so we are all 
Marching To Zion – Hymn 422 in Sunday’s study time. With all that is happening in the world today may we continue to sing 
Onward, Christan Soldiers! – Hymn 612 as we ask God’s help to fight our battles for and with us.

There are so many uses of the words, fight, conflict, war, and battles in this week’s studies. Our ultimate goal should be to  
Stand Up! Stand Up For Jesus! – Hymn 618 (Wednesday) as we go through this world’s last times, just as the Israelites were to stand up for our Gracious God in Heaven. With this all happening, we pray that “The Lord Will Fight for You”, and all of us continually until Jesus comes. Meantime we are to 
Fight The Good Fight – Hymn 613 with God on our side. We are reminded that “whenever Israel had sufficient trust in God, they did not need to fight”, therefore can we say 
Only Trust Him – Hymn 279? This was the downfall of Israel on Thursday when they lacked trust in God against Amalek.

God kept calling the people back to His plans for them (Thursday) and to trust Him, just as we have Jesus calling us today in 
Hymn 285 – Jesus Calls Us.

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

To learn unknown hymns, you will find the accompaniment music for each one at: https://sdahymnals.com/Hymnal

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.”
