Even with his friends gathered around him, Job was lamenting his utter feelings of aloneness…instead focusing on his intercessor & friend in heaven, Jesus Christ. Human tears may only be a few centimeters in size, but their importance in Scripture is massive. Charles Spurgeon once wrote this about tears, “You can draw near to God even though you cannot say a word. A prayer may be cries tallized in a tear. For a tear is enough water to float a desire to God.” The mental picture of this quote of Spurgeon’s is mind boggling but quite clear. Tears are words the heart can’t express, (Psalm 56:8) thus within each tear is the recorded unspoken need of our heart… floating its way upward to heaven.
