“You have kept count of my tossings; put my tears in your bottle. Are they not in your record?” (Psalm 56:8, NRSV) This is an amazing picture. Bottled tears! Intercession! A Father who sees and hears. A Father who never forgets where we are and the tears that brought us to this place. You do not have to bottle your own tears. Pour out your petitions to your heavenly Father, who has great compassion for His children. He will take care of the bottling, the answering and seeing you through.
From “The Master’s Table”, by H. Lamar Smith
