Preacher: Will Spink

Sunday Morning

Date: 2nd July 2023

Passage: Psalm 77:1-20

-------------------

  • God’s people ought to lament (77:1-2).
  • – Crying Out Often ...
    – Expressing Every Emotion and Experience ...
    – To God!

    “Hast Thou not bid me seek Thy face, and shall I seek in vain? / And can the ear of sov’reign

    grace be deaf when I complain? / No, still the ear of sov’reign grace attends the mourner’s
    prayer; / O may I ever find access to breathe my sorrows there.” - Anne Steele

  • Lament is not a quick-fix solution to our anguish (77:2-9).
  • – Even when we remember our good days

    – Even when we remember our good God

    “No respite has been afforded us by the silence of the night, our bed has been a rack to us, our

    body has been in torment, and our spirit in anguish.” – Charles Spurgeon

  • Lament is vital to relate with the God who delivers through darkness (77:10-20).
  • – The God of the Red Sea
    – The God of the Cross
    “In the Old Testament, his way was through the sea. In the New Testament, his way is through
    the cross. The gracious provision of God confounds us even as it delivers us.” — Dane Ortlund
