January 27, 2026 - Genesis 23 & Psalm 20

We read Psalm 20 as a pre-battle prayer and trace its call to put confidence in the Lord, then follow Abraham’s costly purchase of Machpelah in Genesis 23 as a tangible step of promise and honor for Sarah. We close by urging weary hearts to depend on God for today’s work and joy.• Psalm 20 as a pre-battle prayer of dependence• trusting God over skill, power, or strategy• practical prayer for hard conversations and daily battles• Sarah’s honored death and legacy of joy• Abraham’s public purchase of Machpelah at full price• a legal foothold in Canaan as promise in motion• encouragement to pursue good works with God’s strength• reminder that God keeps his promisesFor more information about Compass Bible Church South Valley, visit compassbiblesv.org.
