February 20 Devotion - A Time to Cry and a Time to Rejoice

A Time to Cry and a Time to Rejoice

You number my wanderings;

Put my tears into Your bottle;

Are they not in Your book?

تيهاني راقبت. اجعل انت دموعي في زقّك. أما هي في سفرك

Psalm 56:8

واعوض لكم عن السنين التي اكلها الجراد

"I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten—

Joel 2:25 (New International Version)

God collects the tears of those who cry out to Him, because He cares even if no one else cares. He is interested in our pain and considers our tears of great value. Tears shed before the Throne of God are never wasted in His Kingdom, He collects them and keeps them safe and He repays us for all those years we shed tears, for all these years the locusts have eaten.

Prayer

Abba Father, thank You for all Your blessings. Thank You for caring so much about every detail of my life. Through Your grace and mercy You record every sorrow and collect every tear I have shed. Lord, I know You will heal every single hurt and pain. You will restore all that has been lost. You see the longings and desires of my heart.                                                                                                            I know that You have my best interest at heart. I will keep standing, keep believing, and keep doing the right things because the One who collects my tears and repays for the years the locusts have eaten will restore every area in my life. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

   Jesus Loves you

In Him,
