Watch
The questions sometimes cloud our minds as to why the Lord would appear to tease us. He blesses us with children and whilst we are in the midst of enjoying them He seems to snatch them away. I know it is good to say, "it is better to be with the Lord" or "all things work for good for those that love the Lord and are the called". David does give us a glimmer of hope on how to deal with the tragedy, and where the Lord remains silent, we take comfort from David's response to the lost of his son.
21Then said his servants unto him, What thing is this that thou hast done? thou didst fast and weep for the child, while it was alive; but when the child was dead, thou didst rise and eat bread.
22And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept: for I said, Who can tell whether GOD will be gracious to me, that the child may live?
23But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.
