When despair is your sister and sadness your brother, when hopeless are the parents who bore you. When they scream in your ears and taunt you with jibes, some honest and some untrue, but none with the scent of life; remember warrior, that to the faithful, Creator Yahweh reveals himself as faithful and to the blameless he shows himself as blameless.

We cannot be blameless in our own strength or effort, but Jesue Yeshua offers us the free gift of purity by giving his life in our place. It is his righteousness that protects us, his faithfulness that sustains us. At just the right time, Creator Yahweh will put wings on your feet and you will run through a troop. With your God you will leap over the walls that now seem insurmountable.

Eagle People … Today’s reading is 2 Samuel 22:30-37. Pleya gi. “Go with Blessings.”
