Harmony is Your Responsibility

Psalm 133:1-3 Living in Harmony
How good and pleasant it is when brothers can live together! It is like fine oil on the head, running down on the beard, running down Aaron’s beard, on his robes. It is like the dew of Hermon falling on the mountains of Zion. For there the Lord has appointed the blessing— life forevermore.
(HCSB) A Davidic song of ascents.

Colossians 3:14-17 (HCSB)
Above all, put on love—the perfect bond of unity. And let the peace of the Messiah, to which you were also called in one body, control your hearts. Be thankful. Let the message about the Messiah dwell richly among you, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, and singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, with gratitude in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

Once again we hear the message from Paul, “Above all” put on love, which Paul tells us is the perfect bond of “Unity.” Listen to David, I used his quote this morning, and he speaks of fine oil that covered the head of the high priest, and the dew that comes from the snowcapped peak of Mt Hermon, when the descending cool air strikes the rising warm air below, to describe the bond that we should have in The Church.

God knows us so well, we are limited in patience, and so narrow minded. He says to us in so many ways in His Word, don’t get alone and isolate yourself and begin to make your own rules, and reject everyone around you that doesn’t think the way that you do. He warns us of our nature and reminds us of how much we really need each other. As the dew of Mt Hermon, we are to cool and refresh one another.

Paul tells us in Ephesians 4:1-4 “I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, urge you to walk worthy of the calling you have received, with all humility and gentleness, With patience, accepting one another in love, diligently keeping the unity of the Spirit with the peace that binds us.” We are reminded that our own humility, and gentleness are necessary to diligently protect peace in The Body Of Christ…God Bless.
