Life in Community



We continue to look this week at what God’s community looks like. David describes it Psalm 133:3 says It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the Lord bestows his blessing, even life forevermore.

Without the dew of Mt. Hermon, most plant life would die in Israel. You see it is the highest mountain in Israel and is located in the northern part of the country. It catches the moisture from the Mediterranean Sea, and provides the country a year round water source. This is needed because Israel has a very short rainy season and must have the water from Hermon the rest of the year to survive.

In other words community in God’s eyes is what gives us life and purpose in Him. It’s His desire and plan for us. People in great communal relationships tend to be happier and more contented than those doing life on their own. This attitude affects everyone around them.

Be wise today and always – live in unity.
