Psalms 133:1

Psalms 133:1 says, A Song of degrees of David.  This is identified as a song of degrees of David, then verse one says, Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!  David said it was good and pleasant for brethren, I believe those who were spiritual brothers and sisters, to live together in harmony.  As followers of Christ, we are all spiritual brothers and sisters, and wouldn't it be wonderful if we all lived together in harmony.  I don't mean just within the church building or our physical kinfolk, but with all our brothers and sisters in Christ.  Verse two adds, It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;  David said spiritually harmony is like the holy ointment that covered the whole head and neck of Aaron when he was anointed priest.  This was not just ordinary oil, but was precious oil made by God's specification and for His purpose.  We have the gift of the Holy Spirit today Who should cover us fully.  Verse three continues, As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.  David also compared spiritual unity to the dew that refreshes the grass.  Just as grass does not work to earn the dew, but it is just sent by God, we do not work for salvation, but it is a refreshing gift of God to those who accept Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord.  Because of God's anointing, refreshing gift of salvation, we as Christians should live together in spiritual harmony.
