7: A Heavenly Citizenship — Singing with Inspiration
The great lesson we learn from dear Paul this quarter is that we are to
Stand Up! Stand Up For Jesus! – Hymn 618. This is a beautiful theme hymn to give us a great reminder of what we need in our world that is falling apart these days.
We gain wonderful help in our memory verse encouraging us to put everything to God in prayer and supplication just as we can in singing
Hymn 510 – ‘Tis The Blessed Hour Of Prayer. Paul then shares with us the “secrets of living a joyful Christian life”:
Hymn 12 – Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee. The instructions from Paul keep us learning and we are then able to find “He will supply everything we need”:
Hymn 104 – My Shepherd Will Supply My Need. Our Sabbath introduction then concludes with our citizenship having wonderful privileges
When We All Get To Heaven – Hymn 633.
We each have had a role model (Sunday) to some degree in our lives with our best Role Model helping us to sing
I Would Be Like Jesus – Hymn 311. Our Dear Saviour, Jesus, knows
I Need Thee Every Hour – Hymn 483 and
I Need Thee, Precious Jesus – Hymn 484 to help me along life’s pathway.
Our theme hymn helps us to “Stand Fast in the Lord” (Monday) as does
Hymn 610 – Stand Like The Brave.
With all this wonderful help from our Saviour, we can really
Rejoice, The Lord Is King – Hymn 221 (Tuesday) “because He cares for you” – 1 Peter 5:7, ESV. We may still ask
Does Jesus Care? – Hymn 181, oh, yes, He cares! And we know
Christ Is Coming – Hymn 201 to take all the cares of this world away forever. It is with such wonder that we are then able to understand God alone can give us peace:
Wonderful Peace – Hymn 466. Wednesday points out this wonderful peace, as well so that we are able to “practice what we have learned”; i.e., practice what we preach.
To keep growing with all we have learned so far this week, we can then see
Faith Is The Victory – Hymn 608, especially
Just When I Need Him Most – Hymn 512.
Please continue to search the scriptures this week to be blessed, and to bless others.
