How wonderful and pleasant it is when brothers live together in harmony!
Psalms 133:1 (NLT)
Unity is a wonderful thing. Yet it is not the be all and end all. People might be united against God: that's not a good form of unity.
When we get adopted into God's family through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, we become brothers and sisters with one another. Inevitably, siblings sometimes fall out. Yet it's wonderful when we get on well.
It's important to be harmonious. We're not to be cantankerous and controversial for the sake. We ought to be 'all things to all people' like the Apostle Paul.
The great thing about what God does with us is that He causes people who might naturally be at emnity with one another to become friends. As Solomon said, 'when a man's ways are pleasing to the Lord, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him. There'll inevitably be people who don't want to be peaceful, but as Jesus said, 'blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.
'O Lord our God, please help us to be harmonious, peaceful and united with those who share our faith. For Your glory, amen'
