"The Lord has heard the voice of my weeping." Psalm 6:8
Is there a voice in weeping? Does weeping speak? In what language does it utter its meaning?
When a man weeps, whether he is a Jew or Gentile, Barbarian, Scythian, bond or free – it has the same meaning in it.
Weeping is the eloquence of sorrow. It is an eloquent orator, needing no interpreter – but understood by all.
It is sweet to know that our tears are understood, even when words fail. Let us learn to think of tears as liquid prayers.
Our weeping before the Lord is a constant dropping of importunate intercession which will surely wear its way right into the very heart of God’s mercy, despite the stony difficulties which obstruct the way.
My God, I will "weep" when I cannot plead, for You hear the voice of my weeping!
Psa 56:8 says God "preserves all our tears in a bottle" – is yours empty today?
