Harmony and unity

Harmony and unity
What a blessed week I have had in England and Wales! We experienced the truth of Psalm 133:

133 A song for the ascent to Jerusalem. A psalm of David.
How wonderful it is, how pleasant,
when brothers live together in harmony!
For harmony is as precious as the fragrant anointing oil
that was poured over Aaron�s head,
that ran down his beard
and onto the border of his robe.
Harmony is as refreshing as the dew from Mount Hermon
that falls on the mountains of Zion.
And the LORD has pronounced his blessing,
even life forevermore. (NLT)

How refreshing it is to be together in covenant love!
How encouraging it is to see people prefer one another!
How strengthening it is to hear the reports from foreign countries!
How confirming it is to hear the prophetic word proclaimed!
How sweet the embrace of covenant friends!
How good it is to laugh together in pure fun!
How wonderful, how pleasant, to be in harmony!
How safe it is to receive apostolic instructions!
How great to have the opportunity to give of our money!
How effective the laying on of hands in the godly company!
How transforming to be in the presence of God!
