11: Deuteronomy in the Later Writings – Singing with Inspiration
Flipping through the new quarterly, there are a number of titles that have the word ‘love’ in them – Love, to Be Loved; To Love God; He First Loved Us; To Love the Lord Your God; to name just a few. Hence, I believe a wonderful hymn to devote to as a theme will be
Hymn 349 – God Is Love. Our first Memory Text says “for God is Love”, 1 John 4:8. As the book of Deuteronomy is the book of the covenant, it would also be good to add
Hymn 347 – Built On the Rock as verse four tells us of God ‘Making with us His covenant”.
Oh the joy of being able to have the Everlasting Covenant which we find in
Hymn 469 – Leaning On The Everlasting Arms of our Lord Jesus.
We are shown in the Sabbath introduction to our week of study that the Bible has given us instructions all the way down through the ages, therefore, we may ask
Give Me the Bible – Hymn 272.
There is no human language to show the height, the depth and the wonders of the Heavens on Monday:
Hymn 9 – Let All the World in Every Corner Sing,
Hymn 26 – Praise the Lord! You Heavens Adore Him,
Hymn 96 – The Spacious Firmament and
Hymn 536 – God, Who Stretched.
Jeremiah wrote the same as had Moses saying “Seek Me” just as we may sing in
Hymn 224 – Seek Ye First the Kingdom. On seeking and finding the Awesome God of the Heavens, we learn obedience:
Hymn 590 – Trust and Obey.
“What Does the Lord Require?” asks Wednesdays’ title?
O Brother, Be Faithful – Hymn 602.
Daniel (on Thursday) prayed tearfully, and “expressed the reality that despite these events, there was hope” just we have today:
Hymn 214 – We Have This Hope.
We are bound for The Promised Land! Hallelujah!! Come, Lord Jesus, come – very soon.
Blessings for a wonderful week ahead.
