WEEP WITH THOSE WHO WEEP
by
Kent Clifford Cooley

(Adapted from Romans 12:15)

I had the worship service all planed out. The singers and musicians had practiced. The overhead projector was ready for the song selection for Sunday morning. We received a phone call that our churches celebrated 29 day old new born baby was not breathing and had been air lifted to Pit Memorial hospital. We were all praying and hoping but later received the news that Braden had passed away. Our hearts broke for this young couple in our church.

I realized that the joyful song service which featured a banjo on some of the songs had now become inappropriate. The Holy Spirit reminded me of the scripture that says . . .

Rejoice with those who rejoice (sharing others’ joy),

and weep with those who weep (sharing others’ grief).

I sought the Lord over last minute changes. Last minute changes are challenging for everyone involved. I made a major effort to hear and obey the leading of the Holy Spirit concerning the songs. Our church was in crisis. It was appropriate to weep with those who weep.
