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.

There are many times that Paul encourages us with his ability to be so positive in his trying circumstances and great service, and yet he still will say he rejoices: 
Hymn 599 – Rejoice, Rejoice, Believers.

While still in chains (Monday), Paul goes forward with his wonderful advice to 
Go, Preach My Gospel – Hymn 378. “Paul was able to see a brighter side, and that gave him courage to bear up under the stress”. I can question myself in all my worldly trials 
Am I A Soldier Of The Cross? – Hymn 609. To help with our daily toils and not become discouraged, we can ask 
Give Me The Bible – Hymn 272 to read about help and answers God will graciously give all the time. Then, we can 
Rejoice, Ye Pure In Heart – Hymn 27.

There is more encouragement and advice from Paul as he keeps telling everyone to be faithful: 
Hymn 602 – O Brother, Be Faithful as we are welcomed into our 2026 Bible study times.

Please continue to search the scriptures this week to be blessed, and to bless others.

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.
