Even in the darkest of stormy nights it is possible to break into a dance when you turn to the one who can heal your emotions and forgive all that is gone wrong and receive you as one of his children. Creator Yahweh is a Father to the fatherless and a Great Chief who will lead his people rightly. Let us walk in his steps as he leads, growing stronger in his grace so that we can run with horses. With each step we will gain strength as we learn to love his law.

That great preacher, Ravi Zacharias, says that Creator Yahweh’s law is worthy of our affection. “It was given for our good.,” he says. “Let us learn to love his law. It is the most freeing thing when we understand it was made for our benefit.”

We honor our Great Chief when we walk in obedience to his law. To walk in obedience is to love him and to love others. Are the secret thoughts of your heart honoring to him? Are you especially fond of his children? If not, let him cleanse you anew through the washing of his Spirit. If yes, then dance before him in complete freedom.

Eagle People … Today’s reading is 1 John 2:1-7. Pleya gi. “Go with Blessings.”
