The Benefits of God - . Final Part

"Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s".                Psalm 103:5   NKJV

David begins Psalm 103 by calling upon his soul and his whole being to bless the Lord and to remember all His benefits. These are blessings David has experienced within his own life. He lists some of those benefits: forgiveness, restored health, deliverance, love, satisfaction, and renewed energy (Psalm 103:1–5).

Satisfaction and renewal are  wonderful benefits that the Lord gives us. Here we read 'Who satisfies your mouth'. In another version it reads 'Who satisfies your desires'. Yet in the Amplified it reads 'Who satisfies your years'. Surely this is leading to confusion, is it not? No, not at all. They all mean the same thing. God satisfies our mouths with good food, which in return satisfies our desire; and then God satisfies our years. This is just another way of saying, He meets our need of food and drink; our desires are met and over the years we are blessed with these benefits.

We all crave for satisfaction and this in turn leads to us being fulfilled and renewed in our mind, body and spirit. Jesus offers us all of this. He wants us to be satisfied; He wants us free from sin; He wants us healed and living in good health. This is why He redeemed us in the first place and, placed a crown on our heads signifying we are kings and priests unto God. 

We have a hope where many in our world have none. We have so much to be grateful for and we should never forget this. With the satisfaction that God has given us, we have the ability to allow Jesus to totally transform our lives. When we allow Him to take charge of us, He is able to renew us and top us up with His life-giving Spirit. We can't do that ourselves, we need to want this and then ask Him to perform this benefit upon us.

Why not use these five verses as a template in your prayer time. If you do, I promise you will benefit.

In Jesus' Name. Amen'
