Psalm 116 ~ I love the Lord, because He has heard

 

Lopuck Watercolors

Romans 8:19

For the creation waits 

in eager expectation 

for the children of God to be revealed.

Psalm 116

1 I love the Lord, because He has heard

my voice and my pleas for mercy.

2 Because He inclined His ear to me,

therefore I will call on Him as long as I live.

3 The snares of death encompassed me;

the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me;

I suffered distress and anguish.

4 Then I called on the name of the Lord:

“O Lord, I pray, deliver my soul!”

5 Gracious is the Lord, and righteous;

our God is merciful.

6 The Lord preserves the simple;

when I was brought low, He saved me.

7 Return, O my soul, to your rest;

for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you.

8 For You have delivered my soul from death,

my eyes from tears,

my feet from stumbling;

9 I will walk before the Lord

in the land of the living.

10 I believed, even when I spoke:

“I am greatly afflicted”;

11 I said in my alarm,

“All mankind are liars.”

12 What shall I render to the Lord

for all His benefits to me?

13 I will lift up the Cup of salvation

and call on the Name of the Lord,

14 I will pay my vows to the Lord

in the presence 

of all 

His people.

15 Precious in the sight of the Lord

is the death of His saints.

16 O Lord, I am Your servant;

I am your servant, the son of Your maidservant.

You have loosed my bonds.

17 I will offer to You the sacrifice of thanksgiving

and call on the Name of the Lord.

18 I will pay my vows to the Lord

in the presence of 

all 

His people

19 in the courts of the House of the Lord,

in your midst, O Jerusalem.

Praise the Lord!

5th Century Thessaloniki Church Thessalonians. Mosaic is the eye of Jesus Christ

… Thou shalt call His name Jesus for He shall save His people from their sins. Matthew 1: 21

This House Church is like the Churches in The Acts of the Apostles. This is 5th Century Thessaloniki, Greece.

Thessalonians

The Porch is usually busy and people sit to have a meal or picnic or coffee. Birthday parties are part of the scenery.

Tourism has exploded in the last 15 years and now the roof has a new roof twice. With an additional roof covering the new roof on pillars. These are the older photos. The mosaic and the interior have been carefully cleaned and restored. 

The Church has exploded in tourism.

Tourists, I hear, aren't excited with the upgrades. 

Well, this is good to have upgrades.

The Church was in danger of the heavy roof

caving in. It was particularly old!

The Tourism has been miraculous

for the Church.

The reason for the 2nd roof.

The new roof started to settle and wave.

And so a roof of many pillars protects

those needing the Lord's extra Hand.

…Behold the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world! John 1:29

…for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing His riches on all who call on Him. Romans 10:12

..and our hands have handled, of the Word of Life 1 John 1:1

A Garden surrounds the front of the House

and many of the plants are herbs to

share.

People visit and share in the watering of the garden.

This is called a Byzantine Church

1 Corinthians 15:58 

Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.

James 1:12 

Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love Him.

Psalm 112:7 

He is not afraid of bad news; his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord

I believe the Lord.
I believe Jesus Christ.
And this is where I place all my hope and prayer.

I believe Jesus can move mountains.
And this is where I will place my belief.

May the glory of the LORD 

endure forever;
may the LORD rejoice in His works

Who looks on the earth and it trembles,

who touches the mountains and they smoke!

I will sing to the LORD 

as long as I live;

I will sing praise to my God while I have being.

May my meditation be pleasing to Him, for I rejoice in the LORD.
Let sinners be consumed from the earth, 

and let the wicked be no more!

Bless the LORD, O my soul! 

Praise the LORD!
