8: Giants of Faith: Joshua and Caleb — Singing with Inspiration
As we work our way through the book of Joshua this quarter, we will see that he is ready to
Fight The Good Fight – Hymn 613 and to move forward into the Promised Land. We may still use last quarter’s theme hymn as this will pop up throughout this quarter as well:
Hymn 620 – On Jordan’s Stormy Banks I Stand. These two hymns will resound throughout the quarter.
Faith is a consistent word in our studies this week, hence several wonderful hymns about faith from the point of view of Caleb and Joshua, and the faithfulness of our gracious God:
517 – My Faith Looks Up To Thee,
533 – O For A Faith,
602 – O Brother, Be Faithful,
608 – Faith Is The Victory,
304 – Faith Of Our Fathers, and
100 – Great Is Thy Faithfulness.
With Joshua’s great faith in God, he relies on “God’s guidance and help” for Israel to conquer the land:
Hymn 538 – Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah. With that in mind, Joshua was ready to walk with God:
Hymn 554 – O Let Me Walk With Thee and
Hymn 574 – Master, Let Me Walk With Thee.
On Thursday we gain more education in knowing how even our small cells react to love, “laughing, or embracing someone”. “Looking unto Jesus we obtain brighter and more distinct views of God, and by beholding we become changed”:
Hymn 412 – Cover With His Life which begins with “Look upon Jesus…”
On Friday Sister White reminds us that “every true soldier of the cross may receive strength and courage”:
Hymn 616 – Soldiers Of Christ, Arise!
Please continue to search the scriptures this week to be blessed, and to bless others.

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/Search 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.”
