#soap # 2 Samuel 01 ## Title: There is a Time to Mourn ## Scripture: (2 Samuel 1:17) “Then David chanted this lament over Saul and his son Jonathan.” (NET) ## Observation: It’s okay to look on the bright side, but it is also okay to take a moment and mourn losses. This is not only true of people and possessions but dreams that were yours but never God’s. When Covid happened, many people saw the end of plans they had made. Their company no longer could afford them or their personal business failed. Many moved on without taking time to mourn, and it cost them a season of joy. It’s okay to take a moment and remember what was, what wasn’t, and what could have been. Just don’t stay there. Have a funeral and then move forward. ## Application: Take a moment to remember. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for walking with us through every dark valley.
