8: The Promise – Singing With Inspiration
The book of Genesis offers us so many and 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.
Having read through the week’s lesson studies, more than once
Hymn 518 – Standing on the Promises is sung in my mind.
Mount Moriah again shows the
Amazing Grace – Hymn 108 of our God-given to Abraham, and to us.
Our Biblical faith (Sunday) is “about our capacity to trust Him and to receive His grace while understanding just how undeserving we are”:
Hymn 510 – If You But Trust in God to Guide You,
Hymn 590 – Trust and Obey, and
Hymn 279 – Only Trust Him.
Sunday goes on to show that “the Lord Himself had provided a ram…which itself pointed to his only hope of salvation, Jesus”:
Hymn 646 – To the Name That Brings Salvation.
Monday brings more to us about salvation showing that
Jesus Paid It All – Hymn 184.
Just as Abraham and his family were bound for the Promised Land (Tuesday), so are we:
Hymn 620 – On Jordan’s Stormy Banks. Abraham in his quest to find a wife of Isaac, ultimately did this in need of the family staying in the Promised Land (Wednesday).
It is with a gusto that we may sing
O Praise Ye the Lord – Hymn 20 for the grace of salvation (Friday) and the plan of redemption.
God’s abundant blessings this quarter as we 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.
