Psalms 103:5

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

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

There is an inward satisfaction that God gives to his people. They are not satisfied with themselves, but they are satisfied from themselves, from that "well of water" which springs up within them "unto life eternal." What a mercy it is to be so satisfied as to get young again, to feel your spiritual youth coming back to you, - to be young in heart even if you are old in body: "Thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s." Let me again pause here, and say, "Let us bless the Lord for this." Do not let one of these mercies be passed over as if they made up a dry and uninteresting list, like the lots in an auctioneer’s catalogue; but let us bedew every one of these lines with a tear of heartfelt thankfulness.
