Yesterday, I mentioned that sometimes Creator Yahweh’s help comes in the strangest forms. My first help came in a way I least expected. Creator Yahweh tells a story of this kind of help where a man was robbed and left to die along the side of the road. All the people you would expect to help passed him by, but the last person in the world you would have thought would help, not only stopped, but lifted the broken man to his own donkey and walked him to a safe place. There he paid for his lodging and meals until the broken man was able to get on his feet again.

My first help came when I was ready to end it all, through a stepfather I had hated with everything in me. He not only got in his truck and drove many long miles to get me, but he did so with one leg, since he had been very recently released from the hospital.

Don’t be surprised, warriors, if your help comes from such an unexpected place. Bask in the peace that only Creator Yahweh can give. Receive the healing that reaches past skin and bones!

Eagle People … Today’s reading is Luke 10:25-35. Pleya gi “Go with Blessings.”
