David wrote, \u201cYou number my wanderings; put my tears into your bottle; are they not in your book? When I cry out to you, then my enemies will turn back; this I know, because God is for me\u201d <i>(Psalm 56:8, NKJV).<\/i> The tears of the godly are so precious to him, he preserves them. If God preserves my tears, will he not preserve me?<\/p>\n<p>It is almost too fantastic to take it all in. What strikes me in such a word is that if he counts every tear of mine, then how precious is my blood to him, my livelihood, my needs? Christ assured his disciples, \u201cAre not five sparrows sold for two copper coins? And not one of them is forgotten before God. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows\u201d <i>(Luke 12:6-7).<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Until we are persuaded in our minds that God takes special notice of each and every affliction which we endure, it is impossible we can ever obtain such confidence so as to believe that he would put our tears into his bottle. Can we believe that truth \u2014 that the God who numbers every hair on our heads and bottles every tear \u2014 will he not then interpose on our behalf? Hear this word in your spirit: Every tear you have shed over past sins, every tear shed in times of afflictions and stress, every tear shed over lost souls is written in his book.<\/p>\n<p>You may say, \u201cI don\u2019t weep. I seldom shed tears.\u201d I believe in soul tears, which only God sees, inward, silent tears shed often in times of trouble and need. Not one of your tears has been wasted. Not one is in vain.<\/p>\n<p>Even at the end of time, God will attend to our tears once more. \u201cI heard a loud voice from heaven saying, \u2018Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people. God himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.\u2019\u201d <i>(Revelation. 21:4).<\/i> To believe in God is to believe this incredible truth!<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 100%; height: 200px; margin-bottom: 20px; border-radius: 6px; overflow: hidden;\">\n<iframe frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" seamless src=\"https:\/\/player.captivate.fm\/episode\/17e5be83-4543-491d-8075-001a5bebcd45\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 200px;\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Bible declares emphatically that not one tear of his children falls to the ground.
