Creator Yahweh is our refuge and strength, an ever present help in trouble. Why do you fear, warrior? When trouble is near, Creator Yahweh is even nearer. If the earth gives way beneath your feet, he is still there. When the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, he is still there. When the waves roar and foam, and the mountains quake with their surging, Creator Yahweh is still there. He will catch you upon his wings and carry you to safety.

The wind howls, the earth rumbles, the shout of a horde of warriors rings out across the land! We hold our hands over our ears because of the noise of it, but Creator Yahweh is still there. Nations are in uproar! Kingdoms fall. Creator Yahweh is still there, carrying you upon his great wings.

Eagle People … Today’s reading is Psalm 46:1-5. Pleya gi. “Go with Blessings.”
