TEARS IN A BOTTLE

Reference: Psalms 56:8 You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book.

Observation: What an encouragement to know that God is so aware of what we go through. Times of trials and difficulties bring with them the sense that we are all alone. In those times, this verse speaks to our hearts and lets us know, absolutely, we are never alone, that we are never unloved, that we need never be without comfort.

Application/Confession: In my flesh I sometimes wonder if God even notices when my heart is broken and crushed. Satan lies to me and my own reaction is to simply try to get tough rather than to admit my brokenness and, in the midst of it, to find a God who really cares and is truly present.

PRAYER: Dear God, thank you that you care to know and remember what has brought woundedness into my life. The very next time I find myself in tears, in grief and sorrow may I hear the comforting voice of your love rather than the voice of Satan or my own heart telling me that I must bear it alone. Remind me that I am never without You.
