The Tears Of The Righteous

From Dr. Mike Evans:
God's Word declares that not one tear of His children falls to the ground. David said, “Put my tears in thy bottle. Are they not in thy bottle?” (Psalm 56:8)

The tears of the godly are so precious to Him that He preserves them. If God preserves your tears, He will preserve you from your fears.



I've preached the gospel in downtown Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. I was told if I did, I could have my head cut off. Before I began preaching, I said that we would sing. The only problem is that I can't sing. Standing behind me was a precious African-American soldier who began to sing, “His eye is on the sparrow; I know He watches me.” As he sang, tears ran down his face. I wept for joy knowing that the God who sent me to minister to the broken-hearted had numbered every hair on my head.

Be encouraged today. Every tear you've shed has been shed worshipping the Lamb; every tear of affliction and stress; every tear over lost souls; every tear over the Jewish People is preserved by God.


Many years ago, former prime minister of Israel, Menachem Begin, asked me to host a group meeting with him in New York. I brought 23 partners to join me in prayer. Four of them read scriptures from the Psalms. He wept as we read and prayed because he had recently lost his beloved wife. As we comforted him, he said, “Weeping lasts for the night, but joy comes in the morning.” He stood, looked around the room, and said, “The spirit I sense in this room is the spirit of the redemption of Israel.” At those words, everyone in the room wept.


My comments: Those who sow in tears will reap with songs of Joy. He who goes out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of Joy, carrying sheaves with him. (Psalm 126:5-6) Our heart breaks for a World, Lost and Dying, yet we carry forth the seed of the Word of God to ALL who will listen; knowing some will listen and be brought into the Eternal Kingdom of God with great Joy.
