Faith & Riches
. . . that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance. Ephesians 1:18
|
Do you want to be rich? Do you think your faith will bring you riches? What kind of riches are you looking for?
There's good news and bad news if wealth is what you want. The good news is that God's Word does promise riches to the believer. The "bad" news is that it doesn't have anything to do with money.
Here are some examples of the riches that can be ours as believers in Jesus Christ:
- An understanding of God the Father and the Son, "in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge" (Colossians 2:2-3).
- Christ, "the hope of glory," living in us (Colossians 1:27).
- Mighty strength in our inner being, "through His Spirit" (Ephesians 3:16).
- Having all our needs met by God (Philippians 4:19).
- The "wisdom and knowledge of God" (Romans 11:33).
- "Redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins," which comes from God's grace (Ephesians 1:7).

Yes, God's Word promises us great richestreasures that we cannot even attempt to purchase with any amount of money. It is these riches that we must seek, enjoy, and use to glorify their sourceour heavenly Father. Dave Branon
The treasures of earth are not mine,
I hold not its silver and gold;
But a treasure far greater is mine;
I have riches of value untold. Hartzler
God's Word promises riches that money cannot buy.

From our local newspaper Sunday morning.
I've had the pleasure and honor to meet many of these heroes...
Call To Honor
For soldiers caught in the cross hairs of World War II, the fight for life was a constant battle. There was little time for proper burials and mourning the dead.
Henry Ficken, now an 80-year-old Modesto man, saw this grim reality of war play out countless times on the island of Iwo Jima.
"When you get 1,000 or so a day dying, there was only so much that could be done," Ficken said. "We had more than 2,500 die in one day on the island. During the war, you didn't have time to do anything with the bodies after they had been killed.
"A lot of times, they were put into shallow graves. A lot of them laid around for days in that hot sun. Unless there was access to a ship that could hold the bodies, they'd have to stay where they were. It was a bad situation, but there wasn't much anyone could do."
In 1946, the year after the war ended, thousands of bodies of men killed in battles overseas were dug from shallow graves and shipped to their hometowns. In Modesto, the flag-covered coffins arrived by train at the depot on Ninth Street. And the family members of dead soldiers weren't the only ones on hand to pay their respects.
A group of war veterans got together and formed a committee to honor and show appreciation to those killed in battle.
That was how the Modesto-area Veterans Funeral Detail came into being.
"Every day when the train came in, these men would go down there together and just be present," Ficken said.
"They figured they'd meet the bodies coming back and show their appreciation. These men just decided they needed to do something."
The Modesto Veterans Funeral Detail, from left to right, Cleo Luke, 73, Modesto; Frank Machado, 79, Modesto; Manuel Baioa, 54, Salida; William Pickel, 72, Modesto; Bob Dietrich, 74, Modesto; Thomas Kelly, 83 Modesto; Warren Brumley, 68, Empire; and Henry Ficken, 80, Modesto. DEBBIE NODA/THE BEE

PSALM 91 THE SOLDIER'S PRAYER
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust." Surely He will save you from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday. A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked If you make the Most High your dwelling - even the Lord, who is my refuge then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent. For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. you will tread upon the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent. "Because he loves me," says the Lord, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation.
~~~~~AMEN~~~~~
GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS! GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Well, it took him until his third trip to realise that he had not reached Asia. On the other hand, he did return to Spain with all sorts of gifts and trinket for Ferdinand and Isabella (including a native who he "borrowed").
