Psalm 133:1-3 - How good and pleasant it is when brothers
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 upon
the collar of his robes. It is as if the
dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion.
For there the LORD bestows his blessing, even life forevermore.
David wrote these three short verses of chapter 133. He well knew the disaster that could attach
itself to your soul and life if you lived without harmony. So he reminds us that true peace is found
only when one lives in complete harmony with the ones we are placed with. It’s pleasant ….precious….refreshing….and
brings God’s eternal blessing.
Harmony…the sweet beauty of 2 or more notes that blend so
beautifully together. It brings comfort
to our ears…to our heart...as we listen to the sweetness of the melody it
creates. It gives some people courage….some people peace…and some people a
sense of creativity to produce great things.
My Life application Bible commentary mentioned 3 reasons we
should strive to produce more of this harmony in the world. It sets a positive example for those that God
has placed around us…drawing others into our peace. It helps us function as a whole body…a team…getting
God’s work done in a more effective way.
It renews and revitalizes our lives…removing the tension that causes
headaches…high blood pressure…and a general tiredness to our whole body.
Father…thank you for the reminder that I need to strive for
more harmony in my life. Forgive me when I have caused strife and tension…instead
of modeled the love and peace that you sent your son to model for us. Help me to soak up your great peace and love
in my prayers and Bible study…so I can be a better model of harmony to the
world. Amen.
