Unity

How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity! It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron’s beard, down on the collar of his robe.

– Psalm 133:1-2

Unity has a high value in Scripture.

The analogy used here is oil, which is symbolic of the Holy Spirit throughout the Bible.

In other words, when God’s people are united, the Holy Spirit begins to flow from the head to the feet.

A friend of mine recently wrote to me “I wish we would live like Jesus lived.  Families lived together.  Everyone in Nazareth knew each other, everyone knew who was a good person and who could not be trusted and they all encouraged each other to live their lives in peace. 

There were no phones, no TV, no PCs, no one really travelled far away to work and live… that was the exception and not the rule.   

These close personal relationships bound people together. I know we would not have all these luxuries, but then God never gave all those things to Adam and Eve and He loved them with all His being.  He didn’t even build them a home, He made a garden for them.   It wasn’t until after the flood that the scriptures speak of rain or cold …the need for shelter.”

How I wish we would live like Jesus lived.

That is pretty profound, isn’t it?

Do you want more of the Holy Spirit’s presence in your community?

Learn to live together in unity. (see you at the pole in a little while!)

It may cause a revolution!

Have a blessed day!
