4 May we be refreshed as by streams in the desert. 5 Those who sow tears shall reap joy. 6 Yes, they go out weeping, carrying seed for sowing, and return singing, carrying their sheaves.
Dear Ones: There are times when we need to be refreshed. As we sow our seeds of prayer weeping over our lives, our families, our jobs, and our nation, there is hope of a joyful harvest. The LORD catches our tears in HIS bottle for they are unspoken prayers. (See Psalm 56:8.) Our salty tears carry a level of prayer that mere words of human language cannot attain. It is comforting to know that even our tears are important to HIM. HE is a doting Father Who has numbered the hairs on our heads.
May the words of these verses encourage you this day. May you dry your tears as HE answers your prayers and fills your heart with joy. May the joy of the LORD strengthen you and make this Christmas season a very special one. Have an overcoming day. I bless you in Jesus’ name.
