Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity! 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! It is like the dew of Hermon, which falls on the mountains of Zion! For there the Lord has commanded the blessing, life forevermore. (Psalms 133:1-3 ESV)
Have you ever done something with a group of people and you were all in sync and it worked so well and God’s love and mercy flowed from y’all like a mountain stream?
Remember how it felt to be in the unity of that moment?
Now think back, did you agree about everything with every other person in that group? Probably not, but you were united in the mission before you, and that is where the joy came. That is what made the event good and pleasant and allowed God’s mercy and love to flow like streams from the mountain.
It is like dew from Hermon, or the mountain… That sweet mountain dew! I remember how I use to drink mountain dew all the time. To me it was nectar of the gods… It was great and I loved it. Still do but now it is way too sweet for me to drink it, except diet… But to me that is how we live in unity, by making sweet mountain dew and fulfilling God’s mission, not agreeing on everything, but focusing on what unites us and moving forward in that mission.
So be united to the body of Christ and allow the good pleasant mission of God to happen in and through you.
