Psalm 74 gives us the words to pray when we don't have them; when our circumstances are just too dire. This liturgy for the unthinkable instructs us to protest with questions, look backwards to creation and the Cross, and pray to God to remember His covenant.

This first prayer of a worship leader in Psalms Book III presents two problems: envying the arrogant and the prosperity of the wicked. This is contrasted with the promise that God gives good to those who are pure in heart, who are undivided in their devotion to God. Envy is a heart problem and leads to a transactional form of religion. Psalm 73 provides a solution to the two problems it presented and encourages readers to have an undivided heart.

The conclusion of Abraham's story in death proves God's promises continue beyond the grave. - God kept His Word to Abraham: he died well (see Genesis 15:15) - God kept His Word to the nations: they receive their blessing (see Genesis 17:4-5, 20) - God kept His Word to Isaac: God's promises outlast Abraham (see Genesis 17:19) Thank you for listening to this week’s sermon from Clear Water Presbyterian Church.

In Genesis 24, God is the protagonist of Isaac and Rebekah's love story as He is the One who drives it forward. He orchestrates everything behind the scenes, yet all the characters know and trust that He is working and praise Him for it. God works behind the scenes for the sake of genuine love. This is seen clearly as Rebekah acts in faith by going with Abraham's servant, trusting that God has a plan. Thank you for listening to this week’s sermon from Clear Water Presbyterian Church.

Abraham lays to rest his bride and in so doing receives the first piece of genuine property in the promised land. God's eternity-sized promises need eternity for them to be fulfilled. For those who wait for the promises, we must shift where we see "home," and be eager to follow in the footsteps of those who have faithfully sojourned this earth before us.
Learning that the God who tests you is the same one who provides for you calls you to exhibit a costly faith - a true faith that accepts any cost to have and obey the Lord.
