"You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book."-- (Psalm 56:8 NLT) The psalmist (David) makes a play on words (pun)-- on the Hebrew translated sorrows nod and bottle (Hebrew no’d). "The Hebrew term נֹד (nod, 'wandering,' derived from the verbal root נוֹד, nod, 'to wander'; cf. NASB) here refers to the psalmist’s 'changeable circumstances of life' and may be translated 'misery.'” --bible.org Even in our deepest sorrow, God cares! Jesus reminded us further of how much God understands us—even the hairs on our heads are all numbered (Matthew 10:30). Often we waver between faith and fear. When you feel so discouraged that you are sure no one understands, remember that God knows every problem and sees every tear.
