Psalms 133:1 KJV
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
The Bible tells us to endeavor and work at unity. As good and pleasant as it is when it happens, it is a lot of work to maintain.
This is a Psalm, and I am reminded of the nation of Israel. They were anything but a picture of unity.
• Saul spent the better portion of his career trying to kill David.
• David's own rag tag team contended over those who stayed by the stuff.
• He constantly strove for unity in the nation and saw terrible disunity even among his children.
• Eventually the nation divided into two parts after his death.
Unity is no easy task.
But it is wonderful when it happens.
