(I somehow didn't get the video from today recorded. However, we had a great conversation on Psalm 103. Below are the talking points) After reading from the scriptures today, here are some reflection questions for you. Focus on your IDENTITY IN CHRIST. - Blessed - Forgiven - Redeemed - Renewed PSALM 103:1-5 NIV Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. 2 Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits— 3 who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, 4 who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, 5 who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. _______________________________________________________________________________ 1: What “benefits” (blessings) do you want to remember before the Lord today? 2: In what ways has God healed you? Not necessarily from physical illness or disease, but maybe from a spiritual perspective? (example: healed from bitterness/unforgiveness…anger/wrath, etc?) 3: Redemption is a word that reminds us of being “paid for” or something given in exchange for. What area of despair has God redeemed you from? What area of your past has He released you from shame and regret so you can praise Him fully without reservation? 4: How has God “crowned you with love and compassion”? Name a few of the blessings you have because of His generosity toward you. 5: What “good things” does God use to satisfy your soul these days? 6: “YOUR YOUTH IS RENEWED.” What mental image do you have or what do you remember about being young, carefree, and invincible…? 7: LIKE THE EAGLE: Look up this video about THE EAGLE and reflect on what it measure for the Lord to renew your youth… LIKE THE EAGLES. 1. Fly alone at a high altitude 2. Have vision 3. Be fearless 4. Be tenacious 5. Don’t consume what is spiritually dead/decaying 6. Fight for your spiritual territory 7. Be prepared/trained 8. Demonstrate your vitality
