Warriors let us give glory to our Great Chief and Captain. Let us praise the Holy name of Creator Yahweh and let us not forget his benefits. He forgives all our wrongdoing and heals our diseases; he redeems our lives from the pit and crowns us with love and compassion; and he satisfies our desires with good things so that our youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

Creator Yahweh works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed. Wait for it. It will come and it will not be a day late. Creator Yahweh is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in love. He will not always accuse nor will he harbor his anger forever; he does not treat us as our wrongdoing deserves, nor does he repay us according to our evil ways. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those warriors who fear him. As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our guilt from us.

Let us give respect and honor to this ONE above all others. May our lives be poured out in service to our Great Chief and Captain.

Eagle People … Today’s reading is Psalm 103:1-12. Pleya gi. “Go with Blessings.”
