Psalm 133 is a beautiful Psalm that highlights the importance of unity among God’s people. Jesus, the night when He was arrested, prayed for the unity of His people (John 17 v20-21). Unity is the Lord’s passion.

When Aaron was anointed as high priest, the oil flowed from his head down to the rest of his body (v2). Jesus is anointed as our great high priest and the Spirit and blessing of God flows from Jesus to His body the church. This great blessing happens as God’s people are united. We can equally say, God’s blessing is held back when His people are divided.

David pictures the blessing of unity like dew falling to refresh the mountains (v3). A place were there is unity is a very refreshing place, it brings great encouragement and blessing.

Is unity in the church something you pray for? Is unity something you work for? Do you rebuke in your mind bitter and critical thoughts of others? Do you restrain yourself from using divisive words to or about people?
