“Thou tellest my wanderings: Put thou my tears into thy bottle: Are they not in thy book?”
Psalm 56:8 KJV
David wrote this psalm when he went to Gath under the Philistines. “You’ve kept track of all my wandering and my weeping. You’ve stored my many tears in Your bottle—not one will be lost. For they are all recorded in Your book of remembrance.” The purpose of the book of remembrance is to record the deeds and words of believers who fear and honor God, serving as a divine record for God to remember their faithfulness. The prophet wrote that those who lived in awe of Yahweh began discussing these things, and Yahweh noticed and listened. A scroll of remembrance was written in the Presence of Yahweh. It included the names of those who lived in awe of Yahweh and honored His name. In Revelation the Lord says this, “Behold, I Am coming soon, bringing My recompense with Me, to repay each one for what he has done." God's "book of remembrance" guarantees that when we follow God, even when those around us may not, that our names and our actions are written there. How wonderful that the record of all that we have done even secretly is recorded, and God will reward. Amen!
