Psalm 133:1 NIV: “How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!”
This Psalm actually begins byasking the reader to “behold” or “notice” what follows, because it’s important! The followers of Yahweh had not always been unified. They disagreed and sometimes fought with each other, and that was wrong. In this song sung to the Lord, David is encouraging everyone to get on the same page!
If our priority is worship of the Lord, there should be little disagreement. That is good because it reflects God’s purpose for our hearts, and it is pleasant to be among the Lord’s people, avoiding the constant bickering and conflict from the past.
Not everything that is good is pleasant, and not everything that is pleasant is good. Unity among God’s people is a remarkable blessing because it is BOTH good and pleasant! That’s why we worship together – that’s why we have “church” friends! That’s why we share hope!
Have a blessed Sabbath!
