You
Keep Track Of All My Sorrows.
You
Have Collected All My Tears In Your Bottle.
You
Have Recorded Each One In Your Book.
Scripture
Psalm
56
8 You
keep track of all my sorrows.
You have
collected all my tears in your bottle.
You
have recorded each one in your book.
9 My
enemies will retreat when I call to you for help.
This
I know: God is on my side!
10 I
praise God for what he has promised;
yes,
I praise the Lord for what he has promised.
11 I
trust in God, so why should I be afraid?
What
can mere mortals do to me?
Observation
This
I know: God is on my side! Can you say that?
My
friend, when doubts flood your mind it is a good thing to know that
God is on your side. Trust me there will be days or nights where you
will find yourself flooded with doubts and fear.
The
enemy can't read my mind but he sure seems to be able to flood my
mind with doubts. No, I don't doubt my salvation – I know that God
has taken care of that issue. I know without a doubt that I am going
to go to Heaven the moment I die.
No,
the doubts that sneak into my head, especially during the middle of
the night, are doubts about whether God will take care of us in the
future.
Last
night for instance, I was awake at 3:50 am and all kinds of thoughts
were running through my big head and none of them helped me get back
to sleep.
Where
do these thoughts come from? They are sure not from my Heavenly
Father.
Finally,
I took control of those thoughts because I knew that my God wants me
to trust Him and not be afraid. I really do know that my future is in
His hands. I know that He loves me. He is on my side. So why should I
be afraid? I know that He has always taken care of me.
So
I will hold on to what King David said in Psalm 56! “I praise God
for what He has promised, yes, I praise God for what He has promised.
My God keeps track of all my sorrows. He collects all of my tears in
His bottle. He has recorded each one of them in His book.”
Maybe
this will helpful to you.
Application
My
application comes from Psalm 56:3 “But when I am afraid, I
will put my trust in you.”
How
about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, I don't know why I bother to worry about anything. I do know
that You are taking care of me. You have always taken care of me and
I know that You will continue to take care of me. I know that fear is
a lack of faith. Help me to always walk by faith and not by sight. So
this morning I am holding on to all of Your promises. You are 100%
faithful and You will keep each one of them. I pray for any person
that may be reading this blog today. Help them to also walk by faith.
Don't let them be afraid of what lies ahead. You are the good good
Father. You know exactly what we need and what we don't.
