July 16 water Hang on warriors! Be vigilant and cautious at all times. Do not be surprised at the pain and suffering you are going through, Creator Yahweh said we would have trouble in this world. But he also said that he has overcome the world. Commit yourself to your faithful Creator and continue to do good.

Our enemy prowls the dark places like a roaring lion, seeking someone to seize upon and devour. Withstand him. Stand firm in your faith against his attack. Remain rooted, established, strong, immovable and determined. You cannot do this on your own strength, but you can do it all through Spirit power.

July 15 water The promise has been given! Joy will return to our hearts; our mourning will be turned into dancing! Creator Yahweh will himself restore us, making us strong, firm and steadfast.

Hang on! For your brothers and sisters throughout the entire world are undergoing the same kinds of suffering. But, after you have suffered a little while (this little while is in Creator Yahweh’s counting of time, not ours), Creator Yahweh, the God of all grace, who has called you to his own eternal glory in Jesus Yeshua, will himself restore you, making you strong firm and steadfast!

july 14 water Creator Yahweh has seen the wrong done to us. He will uphold our cause! Call on his name, even from the depths of the darkest pit. He will hear your plea. He will not close his ears though it may sometimes seem as if he has covered himself with a dark cloud that no prayer will penetrate.

Send up your prayers on eagle wings. They will be heard…and not a moment too late, even though sometimes it seems as if all is lost. Ask Creator Yahweh to turn us and restore us to himself. He will renew our days as of old.

July 13 water Creator Yahweh has poured out his great love upon us and redeemed us. His tender mercies never fail. Every morning, day after day, as the sun rises over the hill, his compassion shines forth and he fills us with himself. Then when the sun charts its way across the sky and finds rest in the mountains, his great faithfulness continues to sweep over us.

This is the sure hope we cling to. Let us dive into the river of his tender mercies. Let his love wash away the stain of the past. Bask in the wholeness of his being. Be still before him and know that he is above all. Humble yourself before him, for it is here you will find rest for your soul.

July 12 Take note warriors, nations are racing toward destruction, and men and women are running toward the great abyss. Repentance is the only way out of this dark path. Let us examine our hearts and test them, and let us return to Creator Yahweh with our whole hearts.

Stand at the crossroads and look! Test the ancient paths and see, ask where the Beauty Way is and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls.

Let repentance rule in the hearts of our people as we beat the drum and lift up our hands to Creator Yahweh. Let our tears never cease in the watches of the night for the lives of our children. Do not lose hope warriors! Pour out your hearts to Creator Yahweh. He will not allow us to be cast off forever.

July 11 water Be careful warriors that no one deceives you and leads you into error, for it is possible to be lead 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.

July 10 water 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.

July 9 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 Chief and Captain. Do not take one step without knowing his heart.

Creator Yahweh is 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.

July 8 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.

july 7 water Always be ready to answer anyone who asks why you have such hope within you, but do it with kindness and respect, even when they mock and revile you. Yes, we will suffer, but it is better to suffer for doing right than to suffer for doing wrong. Jesus Yeshua suffered for us when we were walking a dark path.

Fix your eyes on Creator Yahweh. Let his love flow like a river, first ankle deep, then knee deep, then waste deep, then so deep you cannot walk in it. This love will carry you straight to Creator’s heart.
