God teaches you to fly

Psalm 103: 5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.

Psalm 103 is a hymn of praise to God. It begins: Bless the Lord, O my soul. David, the author of this psalm, magnifies God and expressed it in different images. God does so much for a man, as the first verses are about. Then man is covered and can actually nothing. Man is dust and after a while flowering man perishes again. Life is there again. But fortunately the psalm does not ends with that, because God is still there. He has established His Kingdom, and He is the one who maintains his covenant. God is here for man and that we read it so beautifully in verse 5.

Food, that's what a man needs. Good food, that is. A man can also eat things that are not good for him and then he will die. If something is toxic for instance, we will not survive eating it. But that is not what God gives to His children, He gives it good. Yes, he saturates the mouth with good things. we have always enough when we eat God's goodness. His grace is so powerful that we are satisfied and want nothing more than God.

And then comes the beautiful image of the eagle, that your youth is renewed like the eagle's. Here are several available to explain, but the picture that emerges is that of a young eagle learning to fly. The life of a believer is like an eagle that goes on out of the nest and should be in the wide world. So it is with a believer, if you're of Christ you should be in and then the world is like you end up in a free fall, like that young eagle.

But it is precisely to draw a nice comparison. Because when an eagle spreading out its wings, the wind will come underneath and float the beast. Then it will not fall to pieces on the ground, but can fly. And so it is with the children of God.  The Wind, God's Spirit will help His children when they go out into the world. You're not left to your own devices, but the Spirit will help you and teach you to fly. But God is good for you and for me. Bless the Lord, O my soul!

It can sometimes be difficult and there are also eagles falling to pieces, but God will never let us down. He will be like a father to fly with us and catch us when our wings are not sufficiently carried by the wind. He will take care of you when you're in trouble when you're with doubts and when sin attracts you. God is befor you, behind you, below you, above you and around you. He will be there for his children if we believe in Him.

Therefore, it is important to stay close to God and not to fly away from Him. That can hear in many ways! It may even without you noticing. We can sink into the world of money, pornography, sports, other hobbies, church life (without the love of Christ), jealousy, greed and so on. Before we know it we dropped it and we have left God behind us. But know that He is always waiting for you! You can always go to him, even if you do him much pain with all those things that have just been appointed. He is still for you!

Psalm 103: God forgives sin, God heals the disease, God redeemed from destruction, God crowns you with mercy and kindness, God does right, God will not always call them to account, God does not do us according to our sins, God does our transgressions from us. Yes, God is a great God. God teaches us fly! Bless the Lord, O my soul!
