Psalms 81:6. I removed his shoulder from the burden:
Is not that true of many of you in a spiritual sense? Oh, what a burden of sin we used to carry! How have we got rid of it? Does not the Lord here remind us of how we lost that grievous load? "I removed his shoulder from the burden."
Psalms 81:6. His hands were delivered from the pots.
We used to be busy enough with the slave’s occupation of making bricks without straw. Hard was the task when we were under legal bondage, harder still the toil when under the bondage of our own sin, slaves of our own selves: who could ever have a more tyrant master than himself? But that is all over now, and the Lord can say, "I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots."
