2 Samuel 18-19:8

A reminder that the news we hear so often is a mixture of good and bad, that even in the best of circumstances joy is mixed with sorrow. The death of David’s son Absalom ends the strife of civil war, but grief overtakes gladness. Nevertheless, we have reason for a confident joy as we trust in the Man of Sorrows who is our reigning King.
