When brothers dwell in unity
Here’s a little psalm that seems a bit weird at first, but lately, I’ve found it to be one of the most beautiful passages in the Bible:
Psalm 133
1 Behold, how good and pleasant it is
when brothers dwell in unity!
2 It 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!
3 It is like the dew of Hermon,
which falls on the mountains of Zion!
For there the Lord has commanded the blessing,
life forevermore.
Christian love and unity cannot be taken for granted. I’ve been amazed lately at the love of God in bringing along brothers to encourage me when I’m at the point of despair. Praise God for His remarkable provision and care!

It’s probably really beautiful to you because you’re sick of Psalm 119, methinks.
I always had this notion that a Christian can be a loner, but that simply isn’t the case. We need fellowship in unity.
I love the descriptive language.
You know, for a while I was trying to figure out who this “Calvin” was, but all of a sudden I remembered a certain friend’s middle name.
Nice try, but I’m onto you!!
