Mid-Week Inspiration: September 22, 2024
If you are like me, sometimes you want to cry because of all the pain in the world. Sometimes, you want to shed tears for the hurt that others cause. The psalmist declares of God, "You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle" (Psalm 56:8).
When life was hard, and the Israelites were enslaved people in Egypt, God said, "I have heard their cries….Yes, I am aware of their suffering" (Exodus 3:7).
God heard their cries. God does the same for us. He sees our tears and knows what causes us to be afraid. We are assured that one day, "He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain" (Revelation 21:4).
I encourage you today to bring your tears to God. Trust that He not only sees you but also loves you deeply. Let your heart rest in the assurance of His love and the hope of a future where tears will be no more.
