13: Israel in Egypt – Singing with Inspiration
The book of Genesis offers us so many vast topics from which to choose a theme hymn. As we are starting at the very beginning, I would like to give praise to our Creator of heaven and earth in singing
Hymn 320 – Lord of Creation and
Hymn 2 – All Creatures of Our God and King. The stories that follow creation will lean back toward our amazing God and what He has done for each of us in creation.
Once again it is hard to believe that a whole quarter of studies has rushed by and we are at the end of the lesson pamphlet.
It is beautiful to see that Jacob is able to be with Joseph once more, and in the story of this week, Jacob gives blessings to so many people. These blessings give us
Hymn 195 – There Shall Be Showers of Blessings. As the Sabbath afternoon introduction concludes, there is the great hope of the Promised Land just as there is in
Hymn 620 – On Jordan’s Stormy Banks I Stand.
Sunday’s study finished with a poignant question which is reflected in
Hymn 202 – Tell It To Every Kindred and Nation showing
The Wonders of Redeeming Love – Hymn 179 which shows “God’s plan to bring redemption”.
The story continues with Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday bringing the word ‘hope’ to the fore:
Hymn 214 – We Have This Hope. Wednesday reminds us in Phil. 2:10 that
At the Name of Jesus – Hymn 232 every knee should bow”.
Thursday re-iterates the Hope of the Promised Land as does
Hymn 620 – On Jordan’s Stormy Banks I Stand.
God’s abundant blessings as we now complete the study through the first book of the Bible which our gracious God has given. May we be faithful and all say “Come, Lord Jesus, come – very soon” so we are able to go to our new home in Heaven, as
We Have This Hope – Hymn 214.
