Psalm 103:1-5
1 Bless the Lord, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name!
2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits:
3 Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases,
4 Who redeems your life from destruction,
Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,
5 Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
NKJV

When we have attained the heights of peace, joy, maturity and godly character that glorify our Father in heaven, what is the effect on our life? Have we become old and boring?

Quite the contrary.
The verses in Psalm 103 quoted above let us know clearly that the result of glorifying our Father is that my mouth is filled with good things and my youth is renewed like the eagle's.

When my mouth is filled with good things like speaking blessing on those I love and on those who make themselves my enemy, then my youth is renewed: I don't become "old" and cantankerous.

So how is the eagle's youth renewed?
Ever so often, the eagle picks out its old feathers and new ones grow out in their place. This means that the eagle always looks fresh and young in its appearance.

The result of glorifying God in my maturity and character is that my spirit and attitude to life are always fresh and young as I meet other people and interact with them.

My effect on them is always to lift them up and give them a more positive view of life, and encourage them with my own hope.

Maturity and godly character means that because I bless God and count my blessings, my sense of humour stays in tact, and I have a cheerful disposition which makes me part of the solution, and not part of the problem.

Eagles RISE UP to new levels of peace and joy, which is like our Father in heaven, who is perfectly mature.

Prayer:
Father, with all my heart, today I want to bless You and remember all the good You have done in my life. (List for Him the many good things He's done for you.)
Thank You too for forgiving my sins and healing me in spirit, soul and body.
Thank You for buying me back with Your blood, from eternal destruction, and from a destructive manner of living.
Thank You for pouring out on me Your loving kindness and Your tender mercy every day as I set out to walk with You.
Thank You for satisfying me in my spirit, soul and body with good things, so that I can have a cheerful disposition and reflect your love, joy, peace and character.
Thank You for working on me constantly so that my life glorifies You.
Thank You for making me one of Your RISING EAGLES now and always,
in Jesus' name,
Amen.
