There was a show on for years about a place where people loved to go, because every body knew your name. It's a shame the place was a bar and not the local church. Today let's consider God’s community. 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.
Soak in God’s anointing in His community - there's no better place to be! Amen?
