Tears
Will you shed tears today? No doubt some of my readers are going through real sorrows and heartaches at this present time, and if not now, you certainly have in the past, and will in the future. None of us are immune to tears!
King David went through a lot of sorrows in his life and often refers to tears in the Psalms that God used him to write. Here is one reference he makes on the subject: “Thou tellest my wanderings: put Thou my tears into Thy bottle: are they not in Thy book?” (Psalm 56:8). It was a comfort to David to realize that the Lord knew every tear that he cried, and was storing up those tears in His bottle, and recording them in His book. Maybe you have cried many tears that have been long dried and forgotten by yourself and others. But remember, they are never forgotten by the one who shed many tears when here in this world. We read that He “in the days of His flesh … offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears … ” (Hebrews 5:7). Soon, for the believer there will be no more tears! “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes” (Revelation 21:4).
