Warriors, are you having trouble trusting Creator Yahweh? I am a man who has seen affliction by the rod of my Chief and Captain’s wrath. He was driven me away and made me walk in darkness rather than light; indeed, he has turned his hand against me again and again, all day long. But I remember that he is good to those who wait hopefully and expectantly for him. It is good to inquire of him according to the authority of his Sacred Writings.

Yes we can trust him. Because of his great mercies we are not consumed, though we often deserve it. His compassions never fail. They are new with the rising of each sun. Great is the faithfulness of our Great Chief and Captain. I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion, therefore I will wait for him.”

Eagle People … Today’s reading is Lamentations 3:1-24. Pleya gi. “Go with Blessings.”
