It’s the
beginning of 2016 and I’m feeling great. I’ve been blessed with good health.
Partly it’s genetic, but a lot of my strength and youthfulness I attribute to
quoting Psalm 103:5 every morning. It says, “He satisfies my mouth with good
things so that my youth is renewed like the eagle’s.”
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 youthful and beautiful feathers as it grows older. 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 truly is renewed
like the eagle’s.
Love, Carolyn
