Warriors, be joyful always! Joy is an act of the heart in response to our Great Chief and Captain. When sorrow falls on us, let us pray. When worry darkens our path, let us pray. When anxiety clinches our hearts, let us pray! Let us pray continually, lifting our thoughts and even our sighs to Creator Yahweh.

Give thanks in all circumstances, whether good or bad, because you know that our Great Chief and Captain cares for us. He is here with us whether we scale sun drenched forests or crawl through stormy canyons; whether we walk with those who love us or those who side with our enemy, that evil trickster.

Creator Yahweh, the One who calls you, is faithful. He will fill you with Spirit power.

Eagle People … Today’s reading is 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18. Pleya gi. “Go with Blessings.”
