12: The Biblical Worldview – Singing with Inspiration
The theme hymn for this quarter’s studies “On Death, Dying and the FUTURE HOPE” is
Hymn 214 – We Have This Hope.
The studies we have completed so far are reverberating in
Hymn 203 – This Is The Threefold Truth and will do through to the end of this quarter.
Contrary to the worldwide view of the Bible, we ask
Give Me The Bible – Hymn 272. Sabbath afternoon concludes with encouraging us “to be guided by the Holy Spirit with the purpose of being ready for Christ’s glorious appearing:
Hymn 269 – Come, Holy Spirit.
Sunday gives us many pointers on how we may be like Jesus, our Model:
Hymn 310 – I Would Draw Nearer to Jesus so
I Would Be Like Jesus – Hymn 311 and Hymn 492 – Like Jesus. We may then be able to sing
We Praise Thee With Our Minds – Hymn 642 to complete Sunday’s study time.
The last statement on Monday tells us “we should trust in God”:
Hymn 510 – If You But Trust in God to Guide You.
Once again we may sing
Hymn 311 – I Would Be Like Jesus (Tuesday). It is that
Faith Is The Victory – Hymn 608 and
All To Jesus I Surrender – Hymn 309 that we may work towards seeing The Mind of Christ.
To have The Guidance of the Spirit, we may sing heartily and yet prayerfully
Hymn 269 – Come, Holy Spirit or
Hymn 672 – Spirit Of The Living God as we ask daily for this guidance.
Lead Me Lord – Hymn 691, please.
As ‘Tis Almost Time For the Lord To Come – Hymn 212, I want to be ready for the breaking of the day (verse 4). We are to be “pressing on ahead in faith” (Thursday) as is in
Hymn 625 – Higher Ground (verse 1).
On Friday, Ellen G White says “The Lord is coming” as does
Hymn 200 – The Lord Is Coming. Further down in the reading of the day, we are then encouraged to be cheerful as we wait for Jesus to come:
Hymn 440 – How Cheering Is The Christian’s Hope and
Hymn 494 – We Would See Jesus because
In A Little While We’re Going Home – Hymn 626.
Today 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.
