I shall go to him

Then his servants said to him, “What is this thing that you have done? You fasted and wept for the child while he was alive; but when the child died, you arose and ate food.” He said, “While the child was still alive, I fasted and wept, for I said, ‘Who knows whether the Lord will be gracious to me, that the child may live?’ But now he is dead. Why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he will not return to me.” (‭2 Samuel‬ ‭12‬:‭21-23‬)

But first I will share what David did just before this, "Then David arose from the earth and washed and anointed himself and changed his clothes. And he went into the house of the Lord and worshiped. He then went to his own house. And when he asked, they set food before him, and he ate." (2 Samuel‬ ‭12‬:‭20‬)

After receiving the news that his son died he went and worshiped God.

I am reminded of a tweet I read about two years ago that read, "God is good. Our daughter has cancer. Those two statements do not contradict each other."

And this is very true. Though, when you are told that your unborn baby is in the process of dying and soon to be 'naturally aborted' from your wife's body it's hard to hold onto this truth. But you must. For it's the only truth that will get you through this. Because if you don't hold onto this truth you will quickly hold onto one of the biggest lies you could ever believe, "what have I done that I'm being punished?" You will begin to believe that you are being punished for your sins. But, "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." (Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭1‬) 

Jesus was asked, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” Jesus answered, “It was not that this man sinned, or his parents," ‭(John‬ ‭9‬:‭2-3‬a)

Our baby didn't die in the womb because of our sins. Because of Adam's sin the world is a broken and sick place. Because of Adam's sin there is death. Death before a babe is brought into the world. Death before our advanced technology could determine the sex of our baby. But through the truth that God is good David said, "I shall go to him," because, though sin and death entered the world through Adam; righteousness and life came through Christ Jesus. And like David, I too can worship God through this for I know there will come a time when we will be reunited with our unborn child and we shall see him/her in his/her glorified body.

"I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart; I will recount all of your wonderful deeds. I will be glad and exult in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High." - David (Psalm‬ ‭9‬:‭1-2‬)
