Creator Yahweh does not train his warriors in tents of ease and luxury. Do not be surprised if you find yourself crawling through muddy paths or across long desert trails that stretch far into the distance. Stark mountain paths are often the place of great testing, and deep waters reveal deeper faith.

Do not look at these trials as though something strange is happening to you. It is an honor to be counted worthy of testing by our Great Chief and Captain. He has an inheritance waiting for you. You have been given a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Yeshua from the dead.

This inheritance is a sure thing. Do not shrink from the fires that will refine your faith and give great honor to our Great Chief and Captain, the Lover of our souls.

Eagle People … Today’s reading is 1 Peter 1:1-9. Pleya gi. “Go with Blessings.”
