How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity! (Psalm 133:1)
I could just leave today’s devotion as verse one. Because it kinda says it all.
The psalm continues with an image that perhaps is not one that we might readily relate to today. Have a read!
So, I will ask you, what image or feeling come to mind when you read verse one?
I can think of what it’s not. It’s not like going into a room with others and there is tension in the air. A knot quickly forms in your stomach as you feel people all pulling in different directions. You just don’t want to be there!
But what is the opposite? God’s people living together in unity is like breathing fresh air, deeply. It’s exciting as people share their ideas respectfully and listen to and value each other. It is people connected through the same foundation and moving together in response to God’s love, loving him and loving others. It’s a landscape filling with ever-increasing hope, peace, light and love.
‘For there the Lord bestows his blessing, even life forevermore’ (Psalm 133:3b).
I’ll ask again: what image or feeling comes to mind when you read verse one? Share your thoughts with someone today!
Dear God, please help us to live in unity with our brothers and sisters in Christ. Holy Spirit, please lead and guide us. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
