Memories and regrets all form a part of who we are today. Good memories and bad; old memories and new ones being formed right now. Things we regret from the past. Things we regret right now. Whilst mourning is primarily mourning for those who have died, a more broad idea is that we mourn things lost – things from the past and the present.
Mourning often take place at one of life’s crossroads. To mourn is to be sad for the loss of a loved one or for other things lost and no longer present with us now.
King David, in his weakness, feeling abandoned and in pain, mourned the loss of his sense of Lord’s presence with him. He explores in his own heart: Is this true? Why am I so restless and despondent? Why am I so easily discouraged?
Does that happen to you? Do you sometimes get mired down in mourning – even to the point of not being able to look ahead with hope and confidence? If so, take heart. When King David examined his own heart he realised all was not lost. The Lord was still Lord, and he could continue to praise God!
That’s a gift for you and me and for the lost!
