Do you feel alone warriors? Do not forget that Creator Yahweh stands with open arms to comfort all who mourn. Yes. We suffer loss. Yes. We endure pain. He knows. He understands. And he promises to bring something good out of these broken places. He will grant joy to those of us who now walk in sorrow. Wait for it. It will not be a day late, though you may think so now.

This is the promise! We will be given the garland of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and the regalia of praise instead of a heavy and burdened spirit. We will be called oaks of righteousness, lofty, strong, and magnificent trees! We are a planting of Creator Yahweh to glorify our Great Chief and Captain. Keep your faith warriors. Joy is coming.

Eagle People … Today’s reading is Isaiah 61:2-3. Pleya gi. “Go with Blessings.”
