                                                          Home Blessings Extended

The Lord bless you out of Zion, and may you see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.

                                                                                    ~ Psalm 128:5

Jesus talking with
God's children

  "This is a promise to the God-fearing man who walks in the ways of holiness. He shall have domestic blessedness; his wife and children shall be a source of great happiness. But then as a member of the church, he desires to see the cause prosper, for he is as much concerned for the Lord's house as for his own. When the Lord builds our house, it is but fitting that we should desire to see the Lord's house built.
  You shall get a blessing when you go up to the assemblies of Zion. You shall be instructed, enlivened, and comforted where prayer and praise ascend and testimony is borne to the Great Sacrifice.

Jerusalem the city
of God's Kingdom

  Nor shall you alone be profited. The church itself shall prosper, believers shall be multiplied, and their holy work shall be crowned with success. Let us be among those who bring good things to Jerusalem all their days."
