Those Tears 1
Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book? Psalm 56:8 KJV
What does the bottle look like? Do each of us have our own bottle? And, what is this book? Don�t the pages get wet? I know these may seem like silly questions, but they are real to me. I want to know all I can about a God who would collect tears!
What does He do with them? Why are they so important to Him? Does He measure the size of the drops? Does He analyze the chemical makeup? Does He catch them with His hand or with the bottle? Has He ever dropped one?
The Bible talks a lot about tears. I suppose that is because tears are such a real part of life. Recently, I was watching a television program where the children grew up and left home. It is very rare that I watch TV alone my wife was with some friends and the boys were gone somewhere, so I turned on the TV. The show might have been just an ordinary show, but as the parents said goodbye to the ir children it was so sad to me that I cried! Keep in mind, I am a strong �T� (for thinking) on most personality profiles where the opposite is �F� (for feeling). I don�t cry much. I guess the reality of where I'm at in life these days as a parent just hit me.
The next morning I was reminded of this verse. I wondered, did God collect those tears I shed that night? Let�s talk about tears this week. Who knows, you may need to shed a few. Tears can be a wonderful thing, especially as God catches them!
