The Solace of Harmonious Relationships

In Psalm 133, David makes it plain to us that harmony is precious and pleasant. He begins the chapter by saying, “Behold, how good and pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity.” God loves when we worship together in spirit and in truth. One of the benefits of this is that you get to experience the joy of His blessings. Harmonious relationships are so important for a number of reasons. First of all, it makes our church more attractive and would bring others to want to fellowship with us. Harmony is the remedy that helps us unite as a body of believers just as God has designed for us to be. Whatever is going on in the inside of you, will be a reflection on the outside of you. Unfortunately, there are those who delight in discrediting others and cause division over issues that’s not even important to the life of the church. In the book of Exodus, chapter 29 talks about the dedication of the priests. There’s an annotation how Moses used ointment when he anointed Aaron who was the first High Priest of Israel. A harmonious relationship, like the anointing of oil, is a perfect example how we who are ordained Deacons are to be dedicated to serving God genuinely and wholeheartedly. Most importantly, as leaders of the church, we must all agree on our purpose in this life, and that is that we all work together for God!

Serving the Lord with Gladness,
