Every tear has been counted.
“You count my wanderings. Put my tears into your bottle. Aren’t they in your book?” — Psalm 56:8 (WEB)
In the ancient world, tear bottles were real. Mourners would collect their tears in small glass vials as a physical record of grief. David takes this practice and ascribes it to God — God has a bottle for your tears. God has a book where your wanderings are recorded.
These live among our psalms for sad hearts — one psalm, one honest echo, every morning.
Quietly with you,
