Tried and Tested

Leave a comment

Friends, tried and tested are His faithful ones. It is no strange thing to face such afflictions (1 Peter 4:12), but the process of refining is to bring out the value from that which is not. While on paper, it may sound simple, in life these trials carry with them hurt and disappointment. Nevertheless, as our Lord suffered (not to be refined but to be the agent of refining us), so too must we bear our own crosses and acquaint ourselves with His sufferings (2 Timothy 2:12) knowing that in the end: “When he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold” Job 23:10. Nothing we go through is wasted.

“Your Tears Matter to God”

“For the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping.” Psalm 6:8

Tears have always gotten God’s attention.  Our God is a compassionate God.  He cares about the struggles we go through in life.  When we mourn, He mourns. When we hurt, He hurts.  When we are upset, He is upset. “For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities,” Hebrews 4:15.  In other words, He knows how we feel!

“They that sow in tears shall reap in joy,” Psalm 126:5.  It might not feel like it now, but soon the suffering will be over, the pain will dull, and “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away,” Revelation 21:4.  It is only permitted to stay around for a little while. “Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning,” Psalm 30:5.

Your tears and the voice they give to your plight have gone up before your heavenly Father.  He lovingly has every one recorded that moistens your eyes and falls from your heart of despair. “Put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?” Psalm 56:8.

Take confidence today that your sorrow is not dismissed by God.  As with David, He is paying attention to the “voice of your weeping.”  “Your Tears Matter to God!”
