How do we decide if it is good news or bad news? What if it has to do with something to promote you at the expense of the defeat of God’s people? What does it say about a person who can not only lead an army, but also can lead mourning and fast at the event which leads to the elevation of the person? 2 Sam 1

Lord, may we always carry Your heart to see that the defeat of Your people is our defeat even when it pave the way for our promotion.
Lord, create a right spirit in us to mourn and fast at the defeat of Your people even when the event is crucial to the fulfillment of Your promise in us.
Maybe this is like a double edged sword, a bitter sweet experience. But often, this is a reality. Some things must go before the next step comes into reality.
