January 10 - Daily Feast

Know that you are not the only one to ever feel humiliation and pain. There is nothing new under the sun. Many have been through this valley and they understand what you are having to bear. Never lose faith because you asked and did not receive. We can ask amiss, but more than likely we are edged out by a subtle something we do not recognize as danger. As remote as it seems, this experience will pass. This time and place and reason cannot be stolen when the space is filled with praise, because praise is giving.

~ We always give the Great Spirit something. I think that is good. ~

Elder's Meditation of the Day - January 10

"We cannot escape remembering the important things that have happened, and we cannot escape the awareness of the important things that have not happened."

Ralph Salisbury, CHEROKEE

There is a Master Plan. There are Natural Laws that run the universe. Everything on the earth has a purpose. Change is constant. That which is built is constantly being destroyed. That which is loose is being used to build new things. Nothing can be destroyed, only rearranged. Change will happen and every setback is only temporary. In other words, the Creator is in charge. We are not in charge. He designed the universe. He runs the universe and He will change what needs to be changed. As humans, it is easier for us to participate in all of this if we are spiritual. We need to be tuned in. Therefore, God gave us the spiritual concept of acceptance. When things change, we can change ourselves through the principle of acceptance.

Great Spirit, let me live today in acceptance of Your will. Today let us do it Your way.

'THINK on THESE THINGS'
By Joyce Sequichie Hifler

What great surprises wait in store for us? What seemingly unbelievable events startle our ability to reason and what logic evades us just when we had begun to think we could do anything? Suddenly we are walking in the deep dark woods with no light and nothing to guide our steps.

We do not know it all. When we begin to think we have the world by the tail we had better reassess our standing place. What was once a secure footing is now shaky ground. Where is our help? Everything we had figured out as right no longer has validity and we begin to look for the light.

If only we would all look for the light. If only we were not so set in our ways, defending our right to be someone that knows it all, we could stand in the light. Listen, without the Light there is no life. When we give in to the fact that something greater exists for us, we feel the hold on our consciousness loosen.
