…put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book? – Psalm 56:8
God has an interesting library in heaven. As the text suggests, there is a book where our tears are recorded. There is also the Lamb’s book of life (Rev. 21:27). How wonderful to be in it! There are the books of each person’s works (Rev. 20:12-13), a huge collection, which will be opened at the great white throne judgment and result in the condemnation of all present. How terrible to be in those books! There is a book of remembrance of those that fear the Lord and think on His Name (Mal. 3:16). Some would say this is the book of the faithful remnant. Is your name in it? —Carl Knott
Is my name written there, on the page white and fair?
In the book of Thy kingdom, is my name written there? —M. Kidder
