9: The Cosmic Conflict — Singing with Inspiration
The studies in this quarters pamphlet encourage us to see God’s Love and Justice, just as we may sing in
Hymn 79 – O Love of God, How Strong and True! which is a beautiful theme hymn for our studies.
The story of the wheat and tares gives us our first hymn to enjoy:
Hymn 369 – Bringing In The Sheaves.
It is with wonder that we can believe we have our gracious God, and our angels, to guard us in the Great Controversy on this poor old earth. There is the story of our angels guarding us in
Hymn 47 – God, Who Made The Earth And Heaven for our study time on Monday.
We may say to God that even with all the evil around us, we can still say
Thy Love, O God – Hymn 354 (Tuesday).
Wednesday teaches us more about making each choice wisely. I choose today just as these hymns say:
Hymn 6 – O Worship The Lord and
Hymn 83 – O Worship The King. The story continues and finalizes with Jesus’ experiences teaching us to use Scripture, as He did:
Hymn 272 – Give Me The Bible.
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.”
