Eagle Logic

Inspired by Psalm 103:5 “Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.”

God satisfies my mouth with good things—
which explains a lot, honestly.

Because I’ll skip lunch,
then act surprised
when my patience evaporates
like a puddle in July.

Turns out hunger affects perspective.

But God?
He feeds more than schedules allow for.
Truth when I’m empty.
Grace when I’m worn thin.
And occasionally—
something sweet I didn’t ask for
but definitely needed.

Then comes the renewal part.
Like the eagle’s.

Which sounds majestic
until you remember molting means
looking awkward for a while
and wondering if you’ll ever feel strong again.

Feathers everywhere.
Dignity questionable.
Faith stretched thin but still hanging on.

And yet—
somehow—
flight returns.

Not because I tried harder,
but because God knew exactly
what to remove
and what to replace.

So here I am—
not younger,
just renewed.
Still learning.
Still shedding.
Still rising.

If this poem stirred something in your heart, remember that the deepest roots grow from God’s Word itself. “Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee” (Psalm 119:11). If you’d like simple, practical help in tucking Scripture into memory…

    Super poem Kimberly!  I’m getting 3, 4 and some days 5 messages  from you in my inbox. It’s a lot to keep up with most days and often I can’t read them all. You write prolifically!!  Definitely a gift. Today was a glorious day! There was lots of sunshine up here on the mountain. I went on a short walk and sat outside reading and soaking up the warmth.  Wishing it would last and last, but I know winter cold is coming.  But even the plants need to rest and that is what they will do just as soon as the leaves are done falling.  Gen_8:22  While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. Psa_74:17  Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter. God bless you!Denise

      Thank you. I apologize for the days you feel inundated. I’ve been writing and saving stuff on my computer for a very long time. My oldest son recently signed me up for this website. After encouraging me to share some of my work for a long time, I decided to figure out how to make use of it. I’ve been adding stuff to as time allows. Some oldstuff and some new stuff. I hope somewhere among it all you find something that speaks to your heart.
