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.

As we close out this year on the final lesson study of 2021, looking back through Deuteronomy we see all the miracles performed and, sadly, Israel never learned from them as much as we do not today:
Hymn 111 – It Took a Miracle.

Sabbath afternoon encourages us to
Trust and Obey – Hymn 590 along with
Hymn 279 – Only Trust Him and
Hymn 510 – If You But Trust in God to Guide You.

Sunday says “God’s grace flowed out to them” as does
Hymn 108 – Amazing Grace and
Hymn 109 – Marvelous Grace just
As Water to the Thirsty – Hymn 460 shows of God’s abundant love and grace to us, as he did for Israel so long ago. Paul wrote: “And all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ”:
Hymn 531 – We’ll Build On the Rock,
Hymn 347 – Built on the Rock and
Hymn 522 – My Hope Is Built on Nothing Less.

Monday shows that Moses had lack of faith and did not “believe Me”. We ask
O For a Faith that will not shrink – Hymn 533 so that we may grow and sing
Hymn 517 – My Faith Looks Up to Thee,
Hymn 528 – My Faith Has Found a Resting Place,
Hymn 416 – I Do Believe and
Hymn 511 – I Know Whom I Have Believed.

The question asked at the end of Wednesday’s study gives us
Hymn 339 – God Is My Strong Salvation and
Hymn 646 – To the Name That Brings Salvation.

What a joy it will be to see our Jesus face to face, along with Enoch, Elijah and Moses – very soon we hope – and bask in eternal life with the joys in
Jerusalem My Happy Home – Hymn 420.

Until then, O Brother, Be Faithful – Hymn 602.

We are bound for The Promised Land! Hallelujah!! Come, Lord Jesus, come – very soon.

Blessings for a wonderful week ahead.

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 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.

2 Timothy 2:15 KJV – “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”
