Warriors, is the way before you blocked? Are you hemmed in on every side? Stand firm. It is time to listen for Creator Yahweh’s voice. Do not move until he reveals the way before you.

Do not listen to raven who will lead you into despair as he whispers evil words into your ear, telling you to give up and die. Coyote will trick you into cowardice and have you retreat into the world’s ways of acting instead of fighting spiritual battles with all your passion. Crow will come with impatience crying, “Get up and do something!” Do not be tempted to listen to crow or you will miss the wisdom of stillness.

Stand firm! When owl comes with arrogance boasting that if you had real courage you would shout the battle cry and expect a miracle. Stand firm and wait.

In times of uncertainty, listen to Spirit. If you have any doubt, listen. If the way is blocked listen. At just the right time, Creator Yahweh’s voice will be as strong as falling water and as loud as thunder.

Eagle People … Today’s reading is Job 37:1-5. Pleya gi. “Go with Blessings.
