He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”                                                                                       John 3:16

 

The LORD a Fortress in Adversity

In You, O LORD, I put my trust; Let me never be ashamed; Deliver me in Your righteousness …. Bow down Your ear to me ….  Into Your hand I commit my spirit; You have redeemed me, O LORD God of truth …. I will be glad and rejoice in Your mercy, For You have considered my trouble; You have known my soul in adversities, and have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy; … My times are in Your hand; ….. Do not let me be ashamed, O LORD, for I have called upon You; … Oh, how great is Your goodness, Which You have laid up for those who fear You, Which You have prepared for those who trust in You In the presence of the sons of men! Blessed be the LORD, For He has shown me His marvelous kindness in a strong city!  For I said in my haste, “I am cut off from before Your eyes”; Nevertheless You heard the voice of my supplications When I cried out to You. Oh, love the LORD, all you His saints! For the LORD preserves the faithful, Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart, All you who hope in the LORD.

Jesus’ command is to “Go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things” Matt 28  He also said “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me” John 10:27 I learned long ago all my words are useless the sheep need real food Jesus is the “Bread of Life” its His words they need to hear, I did not come to know all these things on my own it is through my own relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, He taught me these things he has healed me and put new desires in my once ‘heart of stone’ I know He will finish the work He began, God is not a man that He should lie. My desire is that my whole reservation be saved, Jesus said, “I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.”  my prayer for them is “that He would grant (Rosebud) according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height — to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.” Ephesians 3:16-19  “till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head — Christ –”  Ephesians 4:13-15                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for (Rosebud) is that they may be saved.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                    I am honored to be who God created me to be, a part of the Sicangu Nation my deep love and respect for the people of my reservation has only grown for them, I know in my heart when they read God’s word they will love it, like i do, Sicangu means Burnt Thigh Nation  
“Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are Mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you. For I am the LORD your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior”                                                                                                                                              Isaiah 43:1-3                                                It is the people of my reservation that taught me as a child reverence for a Holy God, the creator of heaven and earth and everything in it, it was watching them, listening to their very, very humble prayers, we were all one, all in agreement as our elder cried out to the Holy One for mercy, that is just the way it always was, I love my reservation, and I am not ashamed to ask You anyone, reading this, to pray for us. 
                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’              
                                                                                                                                          Matthew 22:37-39
