2: Reasons for Thanksgiving and Prayer — Singing with Inspiration
The great lesson we learn from dear Paul this quarter is that we are to
Stand Up! Stand Up For Jesus! – Hymn 618. This is a beautiful theme hymn to give us a great reminder of what we need in our world that is falling apart these days.
Throughout this week’s study time, there are a lot of hymns from which to choose which reflect all that Paul says
with his thanks and the prayers:
Hymn 276 – Thanks To God,
Hymn 559 – Now Thank We All Our God,
Hymn 566 – Father, We Thank You,
Hymn 478 – Sweet Hour Of Prayer and
Hymn 658 – Heavenly Father, Hear Our Prayer. Paul shows us how to love our gracious God and say
O Love Of God, How Strong And True! – Hymn 79.
With all Paul’s thanks and prayers, he still says
Go, Preach My Gospel – Hymn 378, all because
I Know Whom I Have Believed – Hymn 511 (Thursday). This also shows another aspect of Paul’s strengths because he can say
Only Trust – Hymn 279. We can learn these wonderful Christian (Christ-like) traits by requesting
Give Me The Bible – Hymn 272 where I can learn so much.
Further on Thursday, the Holy Spirit comes along to guide us: Hymn 260 – Hover O’er Me Holy Spirit and fill me now. This is all the more poignant as we see such Marvellous Grace – Hymn 109 from the loving Jesus Christ who taught so much to his disciples and can still be doing for us today.
Our dear sister Ellen White reminds us on Friday that
I’m A Pilgrim – Hymn 444 and by faith we can receive an inheritance when we Trust And Obey – Hymn 590.
Please continue to search the scriptures this week to be blessed, and to bless others.
