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.

Faith is a consistent word in our studies this week, hence several wonderful hymns about faith from the point of view of Caleb and Joshua, and the faithfulness of our gracious God:
517 – My Faith Looks Up To Thee,
533 – O For A Faith,
602 – O Brother, Be Faithful,
608 – Faith Is The Victory,
304 – Faith Of Our Fathers, and
100 – Great Is Thy Faithfulness.

With Joshua’s great faith in God, he relies on “God’s guidance and help” for Israel to conquer the land: 
Hymn 538 – Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah. With that in mind, Joshua was ready to walk with God: 
Hymn 554 – O Let Me Walk With Thee and 
Hymn 574 – Master, Let Me Walk With Thee.

On Thursday we gain more education in knowing how even our small cells react to love, “laughing, or embracing someone”. “Looking unto Jesus we obtain brighter and more distinct views of God, and by beholding we become changed”: 
Hymn 412  –  Cover With His Life which begins with “Look upon Jesus…”

On Friday Sister White reminds us that “every true soldier of the cross may receive strength and courage”: 
Hymn 616 – Soldiers Of Christ, Arise!

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.”

Daily Lesson for Tuesday 18th of November 2025

In this passage, Caleb offers his daughter, Achsah, in marriage to the one who conquers Debir. Othniel captures the city and wins the hand of Achsah. This story is important because, once again, it reveals Caleb’s courage, faith, and readiness to take on challenges.

It also shows that the next generation of Israelites followed the example of these giants of faith, Caleb and Joshua. As the older generation closes their ministry, there is a new generation ready to face the challenges and continue to fulfill God’s plan for Israel.

In a way that is not unlike Caleb’s request to Joshua, “Give me this hill country,” Achsah, encouraged by her husband, displays the same faith and resolution that her father demonstrated. Through her determination and boldness, Achsah continues the line of Caleb’s example of the fulfillment of the promise to possess the land.

Indeed, the land is a gift from Yahweh to Israel, but Israel must appropriate it by claiming the promises of the Lord with faith and courage. Achsah’s determination foreshadows the perseverance of those women in the Gospels who would not be turned away by the crowd or the disciples and would not give up until they received Jesus’ blessing for themselves and their families.
