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.

The story on Sabbath afternoon where the professor forgot to take his driver’s license, encourages us to please 
Don’t Forget The Sabbath – Hymn 388. If we do, then we are able to return to God and have His 
Marvelous Grace – Hymn 109.

 Our theme hymn is very poignant throughout this week – 
Hymn 620 – On Jordan’s Stormy Banks I Stand. It is here that the people learn to say 
Lead On, O King Eternal – Hymn 619. They are also to learn that “Before God can fight for Israel in battle, they must show their allegiance” and be ready: 
Sound The Battle Cry – Hymn 614.

 With all the “wonders” (Monday) that continue to happen for the Israelites, we see so many of these wonders from our gracious God, just as we sing in 
Hymn 75 – The Wonder Of It All.

 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.”

Key Thought: We need to keep the heart and mind in training by remembering the lessons God taught Israel. Modern Israel is in greater danger of forgetting God and falling into idolatry than were ancient Israelis.
