Dear brothers and sisters, blessings to everyone.

The Oahspe Bible offers us a unique perspective on spirituality and the fact that all living beings are connected in some way. In Native American cultures, the understanding of time is often intermingled with the seasons, celestial events, and the cycles of nature.

In some Native American communities, Saturday is a day of rest and prayer; may we use this day to draw inspiration from the Oahspe’s teachings on the harmony and balance that underlie our existence. One of the Oahspe’s messages emphasizes the connection of all life forms and the deep relationship between humanity and the Great Spirit Jehovih.

Imagine a circle, a symbol revered by many First Nation tribes as a representation of the eternal cycles of life. In the Oahspe, we find echoes of this cyclical understanding, demonstrating the eternal progression of souls and the cosmic order that governs the universe. The seventh-day Sabbath becomes an important reminder of the harmony embedded in the cosmic arena, where each step contributes to the greater rhythm of existence.

The Sabbath is not only a day of rest but an opportunity for sacred reflection, gratitude, and communion with Creator who guides our footsteps on the Good Path. The Oahspe, with its divine wisdom, reinforces this fact, and invites us to become more aware of the influences of Creator’s whisper in our ears like the cool breeze.

As we honor the seventh-day Sabbath, may each of us engage in traditional practices unique to our individual cultures that can help us connect to the land, the sky, and the unseen realms. Just as the Oahspe encourages us to recognize the spiritual forces at play, we should listen to the whispers of the wind, feel the heartbeat of the Earth, and witness the dance of the stars in Creator’s universe.

May this seventh-day Sabbath be a sacred journey into the unity of all of Jehovih’s Faithists, a celebration of the divine order that unites us with the Great Spirit.

Aho!
