Psalm 103:5 NIV
[5] "Who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's."
My thoughts: Could it be that God will satisfy my desires with things that contradict my desires??
It's been my routine for the last few months to walk after supper (either outside or on our treadmill), but a few nights ago, I was just kind of exhausted from my day and just didn't feel like doing it. I was more interested in "veging out." For various reasons, I decided to get on the treadmill in spite of how I felt. What I experienced was that my "youth" certainly was "renewed like the eagle's." Exercise was exactly what I needed even though it was contradictory to my desires of veging out.
Since God's ways are not our ways, how often do I miss His attempts to satisfy my desires with good things that I just don't recognize?? Hmmmmm ... worth thinking about.
