Dwell In Unity
Like Dew From Mt. Hermon
DWELL IN UNITY
Psalm 133
1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity!
2 It is like the precious oil upon the head, coming down upon the beard, even Aaron's
beard, coming down upon the edge of his robes. 3 It is like the dew of Hermon Coming
down upon the mountains of Zion; For there the LORD commanded the blessing -life
forever.
Don’t overlook this! Look at this odd occurrence! Behold, how good and how pleasant it
is for brethren to dwell together in unity!" David is making the point that often we can
have so much in common, but rarely are we unified. We all were blood, body, brain and
behavior. We share together the earth, air, and all of God’s creation, rarely are we
unified! Rarely do you see people of all ethnicities, political parties, and the people of
God come together as a family without arguing or dividing up into separate camps;
choosing sides, forming cliques. In the political arena, both political parties share
together the same house, but they are divided. Even among Baptist we are not unified.
The descendant of Abraham, the Jews and the Palestinians, share the same blood,
occupy the same land at the same time, and yet, they cannot dwell together in unity. It
would be helpful if we would look at this passage. Because even though it is odd, yet
unity can occur.
David got excited when unity finally occurred in his life! David is trying to tell us in verse
2 that the occurrence is odd but yet possible. The priest was not anointed with oil every
day. Odd yet overwhelming by the way it kept running down! The precious ointment
kept running down the beard of Aaron to the skirts of his garments!
In verse 3 David is reminding us that the dew of Hermon is an ordinary occurrence on
the mountain. Every morning some type of moisture was found on the head of the
mountain. Eventually the dew made it to the valley. When we submit ourselves to God
and love like He loved us, unity is possible!The body content of your post goes here. To edit this text, click on it and delete this default text and start typing your own or paste your own from a different source.
