TOPIC: Joy in Sorrow
But now he is dead; why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me. – 2 Samuel 12:23
RECOMMENDED READING
2 Samuel 12:15-23
When Jesus wept by the tomb of Lazarus, He signaled to all of us that it’s appropriate to grieve when a loved one dies (John 11:35). But Paul advises us not to “sorrow as others who have no hope” (1 Thessalonians 4:13). Our loved one has made it to heaven before us, but we’re still on earth for a little while to continue serving the Lord.
When David’s child died, he got up and ate and worshiped God because he knew he would be reunited with his child in heaven. God gives us these biblical stories so we can know of His compassion and goodness. By studying the subject of heaven in the Bible, we’re filling our hearts with the land of the living, with the home of our dear ones in Christ who have gone before.
Take time each day to spend in the Word so you might find comfort in sorrow and perseverance in your current labors.
