What does the Bible mean when it says renew thy youth like the eagles?

As this is somewhat of an analogy it is open to a variety of interpretations. I prefer to think of the effortless soaring of an eagle on the thermal air currents as being something easy and without stress. This I liken to the ease with which youthful people can do things compared to older people having to struggle a little more to do everyday things.
The Bible reference may be suggesting that God can return us to such 'effortless soaring' if we trust Him. He would of course being the one who 'renews our youth' with His strength, Him the one who lifts us up. The suggestion here is not just to a spiritual renewal but something which also bears physical results. David said 'by my God can I leap over a wall.' David was obviously a soldier of some prowess and so could possibly have done so unaided. But he, in so saying, acknowledges all his strength and skill as coming from God as well as divine enabling to do God's work. In the same way there is both an acknowledgment of God's 'energizing Spirit' in a spiritual sense but also the real physical help that God has promised in time of need, in the verse on the eagle.

What is a good Bible verse for a team?
There are many to choose from but one of my favorites is Isaiah 20:31. "But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar with wings like eagles: they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." I also like FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) theme and verse from a few years ago which was "Audience of One." "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men" (Colossians 2:23). Another similar verse is Colossians 2:17 which states, "And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him." (These are all taken from the NIV translation). Another good one is - If God is on both sides, why don't we both win?
