1: Part of God’s Family – Singing with Inspiration
Being part of God’s family, I welcome you to 2023.
Managing for the Master Till He Comes will show us that
God Is Working His Purpose Out – Hymn 225 in all we do and say. May we be encouraged by this hymn for this quarter and
that
In Our Work And In Our Play – Hymn 591 we will work until Jesus comes. Hence, a choice of theme hymns for this quarter.
What a joy to be part of God’s family! Here at the beginning of 2023 we will commence our singing with
Hymn 482 – Father, Lead Me Day By Day as we step forward into this new year asking our Father to help us do all things correctly. Our Father will guide and help us along the way as we manage all things to help others look forward to Jesus coming again very soon.
The head of the family is our God, our Father, and with this in mind we can state clearly that we are
Children Of The Heavenly Father – Hymn 101. At times we will need to request
Father, Help Your People – Hymn 353 saying
Father, I Stretch My Hands To Thee (I Do Believe) – Hymn 486. With the abundant help of our Father we can say
Father, We Thank Thee – Hymn 566 because of the showers of gifts that are sung in
Hymn 643 – Father, Who On Us Do Shower.
Monday reminds us that even with David’s abilities to acquire huge stores of special materials (as we may be able to do also), our prayer is
We Give Thee But Thine Own – Hymn 670 and
Hymn 694/695 – Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow.
The greatest resource God gave us, His family, was His love through Jesus:
Hymn 78 – For God So Loved Us. Jesus gave us salvation, and for “those who were concerned about their food and clothing, Jesus offered comfort by saying,
“Seek Ye First The Kingdom” – Hymn 224. He then promised “the gift of the Holy Spirit to comfort”:
Hymn 260 – Hover O’er Me, Holy Spirit,
Hymn 268 – Holy Spirit, Light Divine,
Hymn 589 – Holy Spirit, Gracious Guest and
Hymn 680 – Holy Spirit, Hear Us.
Matthew 7:21-27 (Wednesday) encourages us to build on the Rock:
Hymn 531 – We’ll Build On The Rock as we keep His commandments and
Trust and Obey – Hymn 590.
Once again (Thursday) we find it is wise to
Seek Ye First The Kingdom – Hymn 224.
Today, and every day, we look forward to Jesus coming again. Oh, what a day that will be
When We All Get To Heaven – Hymn 633 because
That Glorious Day Is Coming – Hymn 209.
