Number your days rightly and you will gain a heart of wisdom, for our days are like grass, springing up in the morning when the sun pours life into us, but by evening we are dry and withered. What can we give to Creator Yahweh? What can we do that will make a difference to him? A thousand years in his sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night. With one sweep of his mighty hand our lives are wiped away and returned to dust

Yet he withholds that sweeping hand for a season and calls us by name and separates us to be his children forever; children born not of human desire but born of Spirit and water. He provides himself as our dwelling place and shelters us beneath his great wings. Before the mountains were born, he was there. Before he called forth the earth and the world, he was there. From everlasting to everlasting Creator Yahweh is God.

Eagle People … Today’s reading is 2 Samuel 22:12-18. Pleya gi. “Go with Blessings.”
