The Spirit Guardians

The Spirit Guardians.(Dedicated to all our Native American Culture) Psalm 121:3-4:Psalm 91:1-2:Isaiah 58:11 In many Native American cultures, the concept of spiritual guardians is deeply embedded in their worldview. These guardians, often perceived as spirits or deities, are believed to watch over and guide their people, embodying a divine presence that ensures their safety and well-being. The American Indians revered the land as sacred and engaged in worship practices that honored their deep connection to nature and the spiritual world. Their belief in the guardians' vigilance and protection reveals a rich tapestry of spiritual understanding that echoes many aspects of Christian doctrine.Psalm 121:3-4, where we find reassurance in the unwavering vigilance of God, a concept that mirrors the Native belief in the ever-watchful nature of their spirit guardians. Just as the Psalmist assures us that God neither slumbers nor sleeps, the American Indians believed their spiritual protectors were always attentive to their needs.Psalm 91:1-2, which speaks to the profound protection that comes from dwelling in the secret place of the Most High. This divine protection echoes the Native American understanding of their spiritual guardians as protectors who shield them from harm and provide safety in times of trouble.Isaiah 58:11 will guide our thoughts as we consider the role of divine guidance in our lives. This scripture promises that God will continually guide us and satisfy our needs, much like the way American Indian spiritual traditions emphasize the guidance of their guardian spirits in their daily lives and decisions.
