Today I
turned 65. I’ve been blessed with great health. Partly it’s genetic, but a lot
of my strength and youthfulness I attribute to quoting Psalm 103:5 every
morning as I’m driving to work. It says, “He satisfies my mouth with good
things so that my youth is renewed like the eagles.”
As the eagle goes through
the different stages of its life, molting takes place and the new feathers are
graciously provided. God created a way for this majestic bird to grow the
necessary new beautiful feathers as it matures. We need the same thing, brand
new feathers to keep us youthful and strong as we also mature.
In my opinion, this
scripture is not only talking about God providing good physical food we can eat
that can renew our youthfulness, but even more important is the bread of life
God’s given us to eat—His living word. As we take the truths of the Bible into
us and as we speak them out of our mouth, we get new insight, answers that
weren’t there before, fresh understanding and youthful excitement.
I believe that taking delight
in God’s Word, both the written word and the awesomeness of the Lord’s presence
in our everyday lives keeps us strong and our youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
Love, Carolyn
