Bless the Lord, my soul; all my being bless his holy name! For he fills your days with good things, your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
All of us need times of renewal. That's why we do meditation, go on retreats, seek silence and solitude. Trials can tired you. Conflicts can weary you. Life can wear you out.
Psalm 103 says God renews our strength "like the eagle's". What does it mean to have our strength renewed like the eagle's? Eagle's aren't particularly strong except in flight, and their ability to soar high in the sky. If God is giving us an eagle's strength, he is inviting us to rise above life's daily struggles, instead of sinking in the mire of trouble and tribulations.
Life offers us many opportunities. We decide how we will respond. If we look to the Lord for our strength, we can hope to rise high, to keep our eyes fixed on what is above. Such an outlook will do much to renew us.
