Warriors, never forget that our Great Chief and Captain is our shield and sun! Those who look to him are radiant with his glory. Do not look to lesser things to receive your reward, for a day in his presence is better than a thousand anywhere else. Be careful not to spend yourself for pleasure that lasts but a short season. It is better to be a doorkeeper in the house of Creator Yahweh than to dwell at ease and comfort in the tents of wickedness.

Creator bestows favor and honor on his faithful warriors and preserves every good thing for those who walk uprightly before him. How happy, fortunate, and to be envied are all who lean into our Great Chief and Captain. Let us commit our way to him and trust him with all confidence.

Eagle People … Today’s reading is Psalm 84:9-12. Pleya gi. “Go with Blessings.”
