Psalm 37:29 The righteous shall inherit the land and dwell upon it forever.
Comments:
People consider it important to own land. Consider how many wars have been fought over land, either to protect one’s land from an invader, or to take new land that is needed for expansion. The Homestead Act of 1862 offered land to settlers who would develop it, and the result was a burst of westward expansion as American citizens jumped at the opportunity to own a piece of land. The most famous episode is perhaps the Oklahoma Land Run of 1889, in which an estimated 50,000 people lined up to rush in at the appointed time and stake a claim for tracts of land of up to 160 acres. Whether we are speaking ofa nation’s territory or the personal property of individual families, land is necessary to live on and for producing food and other necessities of life. This is why land rights are fundamental to personal prosperity and security. And this is why the promise of God in Psalm 37:29 is so significant!

Our hearts go out to Ellie Cook and her family at the loss of her husband, Jim, this past Friday. Jim had been struggling with cancer for the last few months, especially, and passed away quietly at the Hospice Facility in Gloversville. The funeral service will be at the Walrath and Stewart Funeral Home in Gloversville on Tuesday at 7 pm. Calling hours are from 4 pm to 7 pm that day. The burial service will be at the Saratoga National Cemetery some time on Wednesday, the exact time yet to be scheduled. If anyone wants to attend the Wednesday service, let me know and you can ride over with me in the church van.
