Have you ever gone through a situation in your life when you thought God had forgotten about you? Or maybe you thought that He was just too busy with bigger issues and didn’t have time to deal with the problem you were facing? I think it is an easy thought process for us to fall into when we are going through something very difficult and feel alone.
A dear friend of mine recently gave me a devotional and one of the entries is titled, “God’s Book of Tears.” The excerpt talks about this painful feeling of loneliness and abandonment in the midst of our sorrows. But it reminds us that God is there in every single moment and never leaves us or forgets us. It states, “You probably can’t recall every incident you’ve ever cried over. God not only remembers the event, but He knows exactly how many tears you cried! He knows from moment to moment what you’re thinking and feeling, what you’re craving for dinner, and when your favorite song is going to come on the radio. He is intimately wrapped up in the details of your life as He watches over you.”
Just reading those statements is like wrapping up in the coziest blanket in front of a fire on a cold winter night – it warms me to the core! Sometimes we all need reminding that God is intimately involved in every detail of our life. We’re never alone. We’re never abandoned. We can always rest in the comfort of the one we call Savior.
“You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book.” – Psalm 56:8
