Warriors, do not forget that it is Creator Yahweh who has created us. He formed us while we were yet in the womb. It is he who tells us that he has redeemed us. He has called us by name! He has promised that when we pass through the waters, he will be with us. When we pass through fast moving rivers, they will not sweep over us. When we walk through the fire, we will not be burned. Flames will not set us ablaze!

Our enemy, that evil trickster might hurt our bodies but he can never touch our souls. For our Great Chief and Captain is always with us. Creator Yahweh, the Holy One over all the earth, is our Savior.

We are precious and honored in his sight. So do not be afraid, warriors. Take courage! Creator Yahweh loves us! Before him no god was formed and there will be none after him. Apart from him there is no savior. He has revealed and saved and proclaimed. Let us respond to his great love by Dancing before him and lifting our voices in praise! Yahweh. Yahweh. Yahweh. Holy is his name.

Eagle People … Today’s reading is Isaiah 43:1-13. Pleya gi. “Go with Blessings.”
