Be careful warriors that no one deceives you and leads you into error, for it is possible to be led astray from walking in Beauty. Stand firm in your faith, but make sure your faith is based on real evidence provided in the Sacred Writings. By doing this you will be able to keep your heart free from trouble.

Yes. We have seen wars and heard rumors of war. We have seen nation rise against nation, and we have wept over earthquakes and famines throughout the world. Our own people have been mistreated and forgotten, and promises have been trampled underfoot. As bad as these things are, they are just the beginning of much worse to come.

Still, in such times as these, Creator Yahweh has told us to not let our hearts be troubled or frightened.  He is still in control. Take courage warriors, we are like polished arrows kept in Creator Yahweh’s quiver for just such a time as this.

Sing a new song to Creator Yahweh. Dance with all your might! The starry host rejoices and the earth is glad. The sea and all that is in it roars with the majesty of our Great Chief and Captain. Singing fields of wild grain lift their voice in praise of Creator. The forest is alive with the splendor of his Name. Eagles soar at the sound of his voice.

How can we do less than all of creation?

Let us praise his Holy Name. Let us bring glory and honor to him through loving each other and lifting up sweet praise to him on the drum and flute. Let us honor him with our obedience. Let us bring a favorable offering of tobacco or sage and come before him with trembling and reverence. Let our lives show forth his salvation day after day. Yahweh.

Yahweh. Yahweh. Let us never forget this Beautiful One.

Eagle People … Today’s reading is Psalm 96. Pleya gi. “Go with Blessings.”

As eagle people we walk with one foot in both worlds. One here, in the ordinary world taking note of needs and ways we can walk in Beauty, and another foot in the spiritual world where we wage war against the enemy of our souls. Be careful to pick your battles wisely and remember your Great Chief and Captain. Do not take one step without knowing his heart.

Creator Yahweh is our Great Chief and Captain in both worlds! Keep your eyes fixed firmly on him and you will do exactly right. There is no enemy too powerful for him.

No matter what you see with your eyes, remember that Creator Yahweh is always good and completely just. Do not be confused by the prosperity of wicked people or be amazed at the luxury they enjoy while you fear for your life. Do not fret that the name of Creator may be on their tongues while he is far from their hearts, for our Great Chief and Captain sees their hearts and he knows your needs.

Remember the great faithfulness and justice of Creator Yahweh. Hide his Sacred Writings in your heart and let his great promises become treasures to you. Never forget to praise him with sweet smelling sage and honor him with the drum.

If you have raced with men on foot and they have worn you out, how will you be ready to run with horses? And they are coming, warriors. The sound of their hooves will soon reach our ears.

Are you hanging your head warrior? Do you feel as if Creator Yahweh has forgotten you? That a river of pain has swept you in its firm grasp? Take heart. Keep your eyes on your Chief and Captain! There is no dark place where his grace does not sweep through with healing power. Even in this dark time he is still at work.

Yes. We are broken. Yes. We are wounded. Turn to Creator Yahweh. He is not looking for the strong, successful and victorious people. He fills broken people with Spirit power and uses them to rebuild the walls that have been torn down.

One day, and not a day too late, this pain will be forgotten, swept away in angel song

Take heart warriors! Do not become weary in well doing for at just the right time you will reap a bountiful harvest. Creator Yahweh has filled us with Spirit power and he hears our prayers. He can make the crooked paths straight and he can take the weakest of warriors, or even an entire nation, and pour out enough strength and wisdom and courage for each of us, as well as our nation, to make a mark in history that will not be forgotten.

Wait for Creator Yahweh. He will not be a moment too late.

Warriors do you want to make a difference in this world? Keep walking the beauty way. Do what is right. Never return evil for evil.  Don’t scold or berate others. Instead, pray for those who anger and insult you. Pray blessing and happiness on these people. Yes, this is a difficult thing, but you are warriors! You have been called to inherit a blessing from Creator Yahweh.

Stay on the path and one day you will hear Creator Yahweh say, “Well done good and faithful servant.”

But watch the tongue, for with it mighty fires have been started. And watch the words that pour out on these airwaves. Words hold the power of life and death, and written words are here for all to see.  What do your cousins receive from you? Words of life? Or words of death?

Let us live as free people! As servants of Creator Yahweh. For it is his will and intention that by doing right we will silence the ignorant charges and ill-informed criticisms of foolish persons. Let us show honor and respect to one another and love each other. Let us also show honor and reverence to Creator Yahweh, our Great Chief and Captain.

Jesus Yeshua set the example for us. When insults were hurled at him, he remained silent. When he was abused and suffered great pain, he made no threats. He trusted it all to Creator Yahweh who judges all things fairly. One day he will judge all things and his righteous judgment will not come a day too late.

By his wounds we have been healed, let us receive his healing and walk forward in beauty.

Warriors, let us be eagle people! People who soar above the cares and concerns of the ordinary and who wage battle in the spiritual world. May our vision remain sharp and clean and let us crave pure spiritual milk from the Sacred Writings. Let us dive into the Sacred Writings so that the truth of them will completely engulf our thoughts. Let us weigh everything by this truth that passes all understanding.

Use the Sacred Writings to encourage one another, to stir up each other’s gifts, to weigh truth, to correct and to confirm. Then, when it is time to do battle, take the Sacred Writings as flaming arrows and make sure your aim is swift and true.

Eagle People … Today’s reading is 1 Peter 2:10-17. Pleya gi. “Go with Blessings.”
