Do you want to be a sweet fragrance in the nostrils of Heavenly Father? Do you desire His healing release? How about refreshing and fruitfulness as a result of the Lord abundant provision? If so – make it your aim to live with your brothers and sister in Christ IN HARMONY!
Psalm 133 is a beautiful picture of the commanded blessing of God upon unity.
How wonderful and pleasant it is when brothers live together in harmony! For harmony is as precious as the anointing oil that was poured over Aaron’s head, that ran down his beard and onto the border of his robe. Harmony is as refreshing as the dew from Mount Hermon that falls on the mountains of Zion. And there the Lord has pronounced his blessing, even life everlasting. (Psalm 133 NLT)
Pleasant anointing oil profusely outpoured released fragrance and healing. Hermon’s heavy dew is a picture of fruitfulness and refreshing. Hermon, Syria’s highest mountain (nearly 10,000 ft) could be seen from 120 miles away. Image the psalmist raising a pointed hand toward the northern snowcapped peak (2/3 of the year has snow). Hermon’s 60 inches of precipitation become the main supply for the Jordan River.
Do you want the Lord’s commanded blessing? Meditate the following Scriptures:
- I appeal to you, dear brothers and sisters, by the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ, to live in harmony with each other. Let there be no divisions in the church. Rather, be of one mind, united in thought and purpose. (1 Corinthians 1:10 NLT)
- Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. (Ephesians 4:3 NIV)
- Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or remain absent, I will hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel. (Philippians 1:27 NASB)
- Finally, all of you should be of one mind. Sympathize with each other. Love each other as brothers and sisters. Be tenderhearted, and keep a humble attitude. (1 Peter 3:8 NLT)
