God's Tear Bottle

"You have taken account of my wandering,
 Put my tears in Your bottle, 

         Are they not in Your book?"
Psalm 56:8

God's tender mercies are ever present. He is aware of every step we take, guarding each one. When we are overcome with trials and seem to have lost our bearings, He has us in the palm of His hand. He has tracked our course and knows where we are headed. God has recorded our suffering in His book, and every tear we shed He holds in His bottle. The tears of the saints, held in God's tear bottle. What a precious thought.
