We have all known the dark hour of the soul when Jesus Yeshua seems very far away, especially when he has allowed something precious to be taken away from us. But know this warriors, he is faithful and trustworthy and completely and utterly good. He will restore whatever is lost many times over.

Today is not his only day to work. Neither is tomorrow or next week or even next year. He works beyond our death. Do not believe the lie that the grave opens on nothing but infinite darkness and eternal silence. For those who have committed their way to Creator Yahweh and give him all their length of days, it opens on eternal delight.

Our bodies may fail us, our hearts may deceive us, but restoration is one of his many great promises. Not one word has failed of all the good promises he gave to our ancestors. He will never leave us or forsake us. He will fulfill all his promises to us, and not a moment too late. Let our hearts be fully committed to our Great Chief and Captain.

Eagle People … Today’s reading is 1 Kings 8:56-61. Pleya gi. “Go with Blessings.”
