Psalm 133
“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.”
This Psalm was written by David, who understood the beauty of God and His words. He knew God and what he was talking about, for God’s Holy Spirit taught Him about our great God and His beauty. So, isn’t it wonderful, healthy and pleasant when we all live in perfect harmony, love and unity in Christ? Yes, it is. Often, many claim to be in perfect harmony; they may gather in one room and even do things together, but after their meeting is terminated, they live instead like enemies. The perfect harmony pleasing to the Lord is what our Lord Jesus Christ prayed to His Father for in John 17:20-21 for us to live in perfect unity and be one, as His Father and Him are One; His Father in Him, and Him in His Father, and may we be in Both His Father and Him so the world will believe His Father sent Him. This is how our Lord wants us to live. It is His will, His Father’s will, and when He lives in us, His Father is also in us.
So, let us strive to live in perfect unity in Christ so we can all be in Christ and His Father, God Almighty, and be safe forever.
“There can only be such perfect unity, harmony and agreement, pleasing to the Lord, between us when everyone in a church strives to listen to the Lord’s words and no longer embraces sins for convenience. If not, we are divided even when in one room.”
"Harmony pleasing to God is anointing oil of joy from God over our heads. By paying attention to His voice, we receive it. By not listening to Him, we cancel it in our life forever."
“When God blesses us to know and speak the truth, we teach well as long as we always listen to Him. Living in perfect unity with each other is doing God’s will together, which pleases Him.”
“We long to live in the same place where we have the Lord Jesus Christ and obedience to His will in common. We long to live in perfect unity and harmony with one another, be one as Christ and His Father are, His Father and Him in us.”
“And above all these put on love,
which binds everything together in perfect harmony.
And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts,
to which indeed you were called in one body.
And be thankful”
(Colossians 3:14-15.)
“The wise thing any believer can do is ensure that God is their best friend. By striving to be godly, we make the Lord Jesus Christ our best friend. When we make God our best friend and remain loyal to Him since He is always faithful, everything that does not clash with His will is for our sake.”
"Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts,
for to this you were called as members of one body.
And be thankful.
Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom,
and as you sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.
And whatever you do, in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus,
giving thanks to God the Father through Him."
(Colossians 3:15-17)
