I'll Meet You in the Morning
Ken D. Trivette
Genesis 23
{1} Late Saturday, early Sunday morning, August 30-31, 1997, the world was shocked when it was learned Princess Diana had been killed in a tragic car accident in Paris. The world mourned her death and an outpouring of grief was seen from all over the world. . . . In Genesis 23, we see the death of another "Princess" (Sarah means princess). We see her death as a husband mourned.
{2} When you look at Sarah's death, we see that she did not die tragically, but triumphantly. [NOTE VS.2] She died at Hebron in the land of Canaan. Hebron means "fellowship" and Canaan was the land of blessing. She died in fellowship with God and in His will.
1. THE HOME ABRAHAM ENJOYED!
{1} [VS.1] .... Sarah was 127 years old ... In those days girls married very young (16-17) thus it is possible that they had been married around 110 years. For over 100 years they had been husband/wife...for over 100 years they had lived together, learned together, laughed together, loved together.
A. THEY HAD A STRONG MARRIAGE.
{1} It has been said that 38% of all first marriages fail, 79% of those divorced will remarry and 44% of those second marriages will fail."
{2} I read about one woman that was married 4 times. First she married a millionaire, then an actor, then a minister, and finally an undertaker. A friend asked her why she married....."One for the money, two for the show, three to get ready, and four to go."
{3} Anymore it is till "debt-disappointment-difficulty do us part." In the case of Abraham and Sarah it was till "death do us part." They had their up's and down's, but it is obvious they had a strong marriage.
{4} Town and Country Magazine once made a study of the presidents of the 100 top corporations in America. They discovered that these successful corporate presidents had a divorce rate of only 5%. The study concluded that a strong marriage is a great contributor to a man's success.
