10: Giving Back – Singing with Inspiration
“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.
Giving back is something we need to work on by looking
In The Heart Of Jesus – Hymn 577 to be able to see and copy the best ways. It is then that we will be able to ask
Live Out Thy Life Within Me – Hymn 316 to make a difference to all around us – with God’s abundant help. This is seen in Sunday’s study time where we will be enabled to be the opposite of The Rich Fool. We are encouraged to say
All To Jesus I Surrender – Hymn 309 throughout this week. Sunday ends with us being encouraged to “watch but continue working”:
Hymn 598 – Watch, Ye Saints.
“Because God is the Owner of everything (see Ps. 24:1)” on Monday, we know that
God Will Take Care Of You – Hymn 99. “I will do my best, and God will do the rest”, is my favourite reminder in everything to be done on this old earth. This is echoed in being a good steward for our gracious God, being a blessing to others, and furthering God’s work (Tuesday’s conclusion paragraph).
Wednesday encourages us to trust the awesome God of our universe:
Hymn 279 – Only Trust Him, Hymn 510 –
If You Trust In God To Guide You and
Hymn 590 – Trust and Obey.
We are able to “return the rest to Him” (Thursday):
Hymn 572 – Give Of Your Best To The Master because “He owns the cattle on a thousand hills, the wealth in every mine . . . . and I know that He cares for me” says Ps 50:10 and is then written in a song by John W. Peterson.
The final encouraging words on Friday are also found in
Hymn 375 – Work For The Night Is Coming and
Hymn 576 – Awake, Awake To Love And Work.
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.
