How happy, fortunate, and to be envied are all who find their strength in Creator Yahweh. This is the strength of a true warrior, one who has set his heart on following our great Chief and Captain. When we pass through the valley of sorrows, they will become a place of unending springs, falling water that will cleanse and heal our people. We will go from strength to strength until the whole assembly of our people stands before our Great Leader.

Take note, warriors, when you have looked in all four directions and have failed to catch a glimpse of Creator Yahweh, he still sees and knows the way you take. Can you say that when he has tested you, you will come forth as gold; that your feet have closely followed his steps? That you have kept to his way without turning aside and have not departed from his commands? Make it your goal to treasure the words of his mouth more than daily bread. This is the strength that will heal our people.

Eagle People … Today’s reading is Psalm 84-5-8 & Job 23:8-12. Pleya gi. “Go with Blessings.”
