What does authentic community feel like?
Turn to Psalm 133
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. It is as if the dew of Hermon
were falling on Mount Zion.
For there the Lord
bestows his blessing, even life forevermore.
This is a song of
ascents written by King David, who experienced the power of authentic community
in the company of close friends who were called, “David’s mighty men.” Psalm
133 is a song written about the power of authentic community.
I’ll break it down
over the next few days. Read through it and ask God to illuminate its meaning
as you seek to live in God’s authentic community.
Be wise today and
always – experience God’s authentic community.
