Tear Bottles

Psalms 56:8 : Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into they bottle: are they not in thy book?

This is an ancient Oriental custom where all righteous tears are saved in a bottle and buried with the person as proof for God. All other types of tears are not saved. However, in this verse, it's saying the proof is not needed and that His children's good works are recorded in God's book.

Who goes before us...

Micah 2:13 NIV

One who breaks open the way will go up before them;
they will break through the gate and go out.
Their king will pass through before them,
the Lord at their head.

I know who goes before me,
I know who stands behind,
the God of Angel armies
is always by my side.
( Chorus of a popular song played on KLOVE)

 This verse and chorus are full of promise. We, as children of God, need to remember who we are in Christ and that our heavenly Father opens doors, sometimes breaking them down, for us to go through. We have only to ask, then step aside and allow God to do his work.

Not easy. But often worth the wait.

So if you're waiting for a job, a home, a spouse, a child, God has not forgotten you. He is leading the way. Take heart in His promise.
