Warriors have you been swept away by Creator Yahweh’s love? Like prayers being lifted up on eagle wings, sometimes even the toughest of warriors must be carried in Creator’s arms, lifted high above the battle to a place of refreshment.

If this is where you find yourself, then rest and enjoy. Let the warmth of the morning sun wash over you in healing waves. Bask in the light of the Sacred Writings, and let Creator’s words feed your weary soul. Get close to the earth and listen to His heartbeat. Count the rhythms of pulsating life in every creature you see. Climb to a high mountain and count the stars at night. Can you number them?

This is the handiwork of his hands, and so are you. Each thought that travels through your mind is held in his memory. Before the worlds began, you were in his thoughts, and he has held you there, and now his thoughts regarding you outnumber the grains of sand. He knows every choice you will make before you make it, yet he still chose you. He knows the outcome of every choice you might have taken. He sees behind and before. Rest in him, warriors. Let the sweet wind of his breath strike life into your innermost soul.

Eagle People … Today’s reading is Hebrews 12:18-24 and Isaiah 35:9-10. Pleya gi. “Go with Blessings.”
