Ash Wednesday, Psalm 133
Our lent journey begins at Mount Hermon, the likely site of Jesus’ transfiguration. To the ancients and people of today, Mount Hermon is considered a place of blessing. The snow melting from Mount Hermon provides lush green foothills and water for the Jordan River. In our Psalm reading today, David compares our dwelling in unity as people to the blessing of “precious oil poured on the head.” In other words, that unity is like the blessing of water flowing from the mountain to sustain the people of Israel. We can make the direct correlation of our being sustained in our oneness in Christ, the source of all our blessings.
Think about areas where you can bring people together in unity in your life and in the church. Pray for unity in the church that flows from our source of life in Jesus Christ.
