Read Psalm 133

A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem

How wonderful and pleasant it is
    when brothers live together in harmony!
For harmony is as precious as the 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 there the Lord has pronounced his blessing,
    even life everlasting.

 

V 2  Harmony is as refreshing as the dew from Mount Hermon
    that falls on the mountains of Zion.

Many climbing expeditions, and exploration teams, have had to spend a long time selecting party members so as to ensure that they can work together in harmony when the going gets tough. On this Christian pilgrimage – the Church living and working together – we don’t get to choose our fellow-travellers. What a blessing it is when God links us in harmonious service to honour him by our work for others.
