We
are looking this week at what God’s community looks like. David gives us a
glimpse of it in Psalm 133:1-2 says How
good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity! It is like precious oil poured on the head,
running down on the beard, running down on Aaron’s beard, down on the collar of
his robe.
The
first verse is obvious when you realize that unity and community are synonymous
in God’s eyes. The second verse refers to the “once in a lifetime” opportunity
to see and experience the anointing of the High priest of Israel. They sprinkled other
priests but for him they drench him with this special anointing oil that is
only used in these occasions.
In
other words authentic community with a few close friends gives off the same
level of joy as the celebration of the anointing of the high priest. Pretty
special in God’s eyes, and should be to us as well.
Be
wise today and always – soak in God’s anointing in His community.
