“You number my wanderings;
Put my tears into Your bottle;
Are they not in Your book?
When I cry out to You,
Then my enemies will turn back;
This I know, because God is for me.
In God (I will praise His word),
In the Lord (I will praise His word),
In God I have put my trust;
I will not be afraid.
What can man do to me?”
Psalm 56: 8-11
God keeps track of all of our tears. He sees what we go through and He understands our trials. Every
time we choke back the waterfall just waiting to come out. Every tear shed in
the private corners of our room. Every drop that hits our pillow when we lay
down to sleep at night. He counts it all.
God is FOR US. He guides
and protects us. He promises GOOD for us. When we feel like the whole world is
working against us, God is in every essence of where we are; pushing us,
pulling us, guiding us, nudging us. Every motion He allows us to make, is just
another opportunity for us to see that He is on our side.
NO ONE can harm us. This one
is tough. Someone can physically bruise me. Someone can use their words to cut
me like a knife. Someone can do something to hurt someone I love, which in turn
hurts me…but when God is on my side, the same God who is FOR me and uses all
things for His glory and my good…what can man really do to harm me? No man can
separate me from my God.
