Psalm 103:1-5
Excerpted from: Attributes of the EagleRenew in verse 5 is chadash in this occurrence. The word is more about repairing what has become worn down, repairing back to a state that once was. That is why the word youth is used. See, the idea is of an eagle molting and growing new feathers. Through the molting process, the old and damaged feathers fall away and new ones take their place. Have you ever seen a chicken molt? I know Brother Josh and the Mimms family have. See, chickens during the molting process tend to lose a lot of their feathers. They can look pretty bare and funny as the process goes on.
Well, an eagle does not molt like a chicken. According to the online article, "Life History or Annual Cycle" written by a gentleman with the screen name Elf Ruler, and I know that is funny, eagles cannot hide or feed themselves if they were to lose all their feathers at once, losing their ability to fly. See, Elf Ruler states that their molt is a partial molt happening over the course of three to four years, only losing a few feathers at a time during that process. This allows them to keep flying. With this in mind, we can better understand the idea of an eagle mounting up and soaring in Isaiah 40. Much like the sandals of the Israelites not wearing out on them in the wilderness, the wings of the eagle are being replenished in such a way that they are able to keep soaring.
