Deuteronomy 32:11-12
As an eagle stirs up its nest,
and hovers over its young;
as it spreads its wings, takes them up,
and bears them aloft on its pinions,
the Lord alone guided him;
no foreign god was with him.
OK I had to look up pinions. Apparently pinions are the very longest feathers extending from the wings of an eagle or any other large bird. Think of the emblems on your money of a spread-winged eagle. They've got those long feathers extending down from the wings: those are pinions.
Enough science lesson... here's why I chose this verse then, having looked that up. God carries us, God's children, just like an eagle carries its young on its pinions. God carries us on God's own wing-feathers. The feathers that come down from God's wings are strong enough to carry you. No matter what big things you're carrying. No matter that your problems are beyond your comprehension. No matter that your to-do list grows and people harrass you daily. God's pinions are carrying you. And they're strong enough.
So stop worrying.
In Christ,
Pastor Seth
