1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to live together in unity!
It is something precious in God's eyes. Each of us has flaws; some need more help than others, and this is where fellowship becomes healing.
When we live and share life together, it's not just "good" - it's gentle, pleasant, and desirable.
Living in unity takes presence, effort, and empathy.
Being present and doing our best to keep peace is often the best offering we can give to God and to others.
2 It is like the precious oil on the head, running down on the beard, Aaron's beard, down to the collar of his robes.
Aaron was Moses' brother. He was born during Israel's oppression in Egypt, but apparently before the king's order to kill the baby boys ( Exodus 1:22).
3 It is like the dew of Hermon, falling on the mountains of Zion. For there the Lord commands the blessing - life forevermore.
The dew represents renewal, freshness, and new life. Mount Hermon was known for its refreshing moisture, and the psalmist says that unity among brothers brings that same renewal.
We should always remember both the good and hard times,
because it is in this atmosphere of peace and fellowship that God commands the blessing - not just a temporary one, but everlasting life, ongoing communion with Him.
