Today's Favorite Verse: 2 Samuel 1:12
"And they mourned, and wept, and fasted until even, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the LORD, and for the house of Israel; because they were fallen by the sword."
David and his men mourn, weep and fast for Saul and Jonathan that were killed. It is the fasting part of mourning that I don't see mention of today. It obviously came hand in hand in the scriptures. It surely is a sign that people are turning to God to be comforted in their grief.
"Yea, the cry of widows mourning for their husbands, and also of fathers mourning for their sons, and the daughter for the brother, yea, the brother for the father; and thus the cry of mourning was heard among all of them, mourning for their kindred who had been slain.
And now surely this was a sorrowful day; yea, a time of solemnity, and a time of much fasting and prayer."
(Alma 28:5-6)
