“1Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity! 2It is like the precious oil on the head, running down on the beard, on the beard of Aaron, running down on the collar of his robes! 3It is like the dew of Hermon, which falls on the mountains of Zion! For there the Lord has commanded the blessing, life forevermore.” – Psalm 133:1-3 (ESV)
Can you imagine a world where all “dwell in unity”? Imagine a healthy respect for one another. Imagine love for each other.
I have seen the bumper stickers of the word “coexist” written in symbols of different religions. Where I may not fully understand what that means in the hearts of others, I can apply it to the idea of dwelling in unity. A world where we would love one another and work together for the common cause of spreading the gospel. We have to be careful not to believe that we will always get along and agree with one another on all items, however our purpose should be something that we all should agree. Isn’t that our task as laid out by God in Matthew 28:19-20 (The Great Commission)?
And when we are in unity with our purpose and carrying out God’s plan, then we are blessed by God with “life forevermore”. Our lives are blessed when we are working for the greatness of God. When we are working together to bring God to the people, we are fulfilling our end of the agreement and God will uphold His.
Are you working with your fellow man in unity of purpose? Are you experiencing the blessings of God? Are you receiving “life forevermore” as we “dwell in unity” with our fellow man?
