Big Shoulders


A word from Limuru, Kenya:

What amazes me is the range of emotions David expresses in this Psalm. He goes from immovable confidence to total despair.

In this Psalm, David models for us the cares we can bring to God. His shoulders are big enough for joy and desperation, fear and confidence. In fact, God expects us to bring what we feel to him.

Church planter and author Jeff Vanderstelt said, “Our feelings are an indication of our need. If we don’t take them to God, those needs will be met in unhealthy ways.” (Paraphrase)

Christian, take all your cares to the Lord. His shoulders are big enough.
