Psalm 133:1 says: How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!
“When brothers live together in unity,” is also call “community”. King David, the writer of this psalm, is speaking much more about living together in a tight, communal relationship than simply keeping peace and not arguing or having discord.
This is God's desire for His church! It is not about just going to church, but about becoming the church. We need take a genuine interest in the lives of others. We must care, share, and pray for each other every day. That's 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.Psalm 133:1-2
This 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 united and soak in God’s anointing in His community.
Amen?
