Psalms 103-105

[wolfpurplemoon]

Psalm 103: I've read Verse 5 in several translations, and still can't fathom what "so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's" means. One version dropped it all together! :EDIT: OK, apparently there is a well known myth (not by me) that eagles shed their feathers and beaks at the age of 40 and then regrow them and live another 30 years. That's just crazy.
Psalm 104: Praising God for all the stuff he made, with a little tagged on plea to kill wicked people
Psalm 105: A reminder of the events of Exodus

I'm just over half way through now, I've kept this up for 6 months!!

another verse relating to eagles

[(Anonymous)]

A few weeks ago my Uncle preached about the verse that says `he shall renew there strength and they shall mount up like eagles` the interpretation that was proposed stated that eagles rely on the air conditions to fly. they wait for the right winds inorder for them to swoop down. there for they really arent flying they are gliding. so it means that god wants you to rely on him so that you can just glide through life instead of always trying to flap your wings to stay in the air. i thougght this was really deep.

It's not really all that deep, just a metaphor that is probably inspiring if you really think that God is literally going to hold you up. If you expect God to help you glide I think you'll just end up crashing to the ground to be honest. Life involves more effort than that.
