Warriors, stop! You were running a good race. Who cut in on you to keep you from obeying the truth? Creator Yahweh has given us two commands: to love him and to love others as we love ourselves. Are we picking and choosing who we wish to love? We are to love all our brothers, all our sisters, all our relatives near and far.

I see a sad thing beneath the light of the noonday sun. Creator Yahweh’s people devour one another with their words. We look out for our own needs instead of trusting Creator Yahweh to meet every need. Do we have need of healed emotions? He will meet it. He may use a counselor to do so, but he should be our First Counselor. Are our bodies broken? He can meet that need too, and bring beauty even to the most broken of bodies. He may use a doctor to do so, but He should be our first Great Physician. Do we have need of justice? Oh, yes, we do. But there will be no true justice until He reigns supreme.

We are a spiritual people. We have always walked with one foot in both worlds. Let us return to our Great Chief with our whole hearts. Do not take another step until Creator Yahweh’s love restores your broken soul. Then rise, and walk in beauty, and let love flow through every step.

Find rest my people, in Creator Yahweh alone. Your salvation comes only from him. He alone is your rock and your salvation; he is your fortress.

If you trust in him, you will never be shaken. When you feel as if you have been thrown to the earth in defeat, trust in Yahweh. When you feel like a leaning wall or a tottering fence, trust in him. When wicked people take delight in lies regarding your honor, pour out your heart to Creator Yahweh. Trust in his unfailing love.

Find rest for your soul in Creator Yahweh alone. Your hope comes only form him. Your salvation and your honor depend on him. He is your mighty Rock and Refuge. Pour out your heart to him. He will restore your soul.

Watch and give heed warriors! Creator Yahweh is your strength and your shield. Dance your praises before him for his great mercy and steadfast love. He is our Great Chief, our defense and protector. He is a strong tower from which we observe with triumph the breaking down of our enemies.

Sing loud over the drum! Shout praises to Creator Yahweh for his great loving-kindness and mercy! Though many rise up against us, he is our great protector. He laughs in the face of our enemies and scoffs at their showing of strength. He shows no mercy to wicked traitors but showers his people with love. Let us sing of his strength and love. He is our great refuge in times of trouble. Yahweh. Yahweh. Yahweh. He is the God who shows us loving-kindness.

Warriors and children, Creator Yahweh will build you up! He has consecrated, purified and transformed your soul and he will give you your rightful inheritance among all God’s set-apart ones.

I commit you to Creator Yahweh and give you to his charge, entrusting you to his protection and care. I commend you to the Word of his grace and to the commands and counsels and promises of his unmerited favor.

Rest in his love. Live in his hope. Walk in his strength.

Warriors! This is a day to attempt great things for Creator Yahweh, but first we must take His faith in order to believe that we can do great things, and then we must take his strength in order to accomplish great things for him. It is his work, not ours that will accomplish the task. It is his faith that encourages our hearts. It is his strength that keeps us going when all else fall away.

Let us be bold! Let us expect great things from Creator Yahweh! He is above all and through all and in all. He made the stars! And he has chosen us for just such a time as this and assigned each of us a unique task. Together there is nothing that we cannot accomplish through him.

With such a one as this it is easier to take hold of a lot than it is to take a little, so with arms open wide, let us take hold. But take heed, warriors, this taking is not for our own wishes but for the working of the task he has assigned us. The longer we walk the Jesus Way the more these two become one—his wishes become ours. Today, let us choose to walk in beauty.

Eagle People … Today’s reading is Acts 20:25-27. Pleya gi. “Go with Blessings.”
