In the heat of the battle dog soldiers stake themselves to the ground and fight until the battle is either lost or won. They are like standing trees that have been torn apart and twisted by fierce winds, but these are the strongest of trees that stand long after the storm is spent.
Jesus Yeshua is the strongest Dog Soldier of all, placing himself between us and the fiercest of enemies.
Seek the faith of a dog soldier, for it is this faith that will carry you through the strongest spiritual storms. Faith grows during these storms. Unbelief looks at Creator Yahweh through the circumstances of life that drag us down. But a dog soldier of faith looks at the circumstances through Jesus Yeshua knowing that Creator Yahweh will not allow the enemy to come too close. That evil trickster may break the body but he cannot break the soul.
Eagle People … Today’s reading is Psalm 1. Pleya gi. “Go with Blessings.”
