Even warriors shed tears. And when they do, they often feel as helpless as a deer caught in the headlamps of a vehicle. Tears are a foreign thing. When you shed tears, let yourself go. Place your life completely in Yahweh’s mercy. Let him do with you what he wants. This is better than complaining about your circumstances or demanding an audience to state your case.
The strength of which you were once so proud will seem but a small thing when you have experienced the power of brokenness at Yahweh’s feet. You may think it great that you call yourself horse whisperer, but Yahweh knows the language of trees. You may be proud to ride bareback across open fields, but He rides the wings of wind. Can you tame wild horses? He commands the wind and storm. Surely you thought and spoke of things you did not understand, things too wonderful for you to know. Creator Yahweh is above and beyond and exalted in power. In His justice and great righteousness, He does not oppress. You are in the presence of The Almighty. How dare you stand on your feet?
Eagle People … Today’s reading is Job 42:1-6. Pleya gi “Go with Blessings.”
