The beautiful picture on the front of our lesson pamphlet brings us our theme hymn for this quarter with it’s two variations in melody:
Hymn 552/546 – The Lord’s My Shepherd.
Psalm 98:5, 6 – “Sing to the Lord with the harp, with the harp and the sound of a psalm, with trumpets and the sound of a horn; shout joyfully before the LORD, the King”.
There is a great reminder in our Sabbath afternoon introduction: “the day of God’s judgment is coming”:
Hymn 418 – Day of Judgment, Day of Wonders!
Sunday gives us wonderful hymns from the Psalms texts we read:
Hymn 339 – God Is My Strong Salvation and that there will be a
Rescue The Perishing – Hymn 367 time, and a time to
Give To Our God Immortal Praise – Hymn 106. Just as the Psalmist’s do, we will sing
Praise To The Lord – Hymn 1 and
O Praise Ye The Lord! – Hymn 20. Oh, may we stand up and be like “the image of God as Warrior”:
Hymn 616 – Soldiers of Christ, Arise.
Monday concludes with Revelation 21:4 – “He promises us eternal life in God’s kingdom”, and may we be found
Standing On The Promises – Hymn 518.
“God’s children are called to pray for those who mistreat them and even to hope for their conversion” (Psalm 84:18, Jeremiah 29:7) on Wednesday:
Hymn 284 – For You I Am Praying.
Our challenge on Thursday is to forgive as God has for us in the Sanctuary:
