DAILY?READINGS: Gen. 38; Psalms 15-16; Matt. 21:33 to 22:14
Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! Psalm 133:1
David likens the unity of brethren to the holy anointing oil that ran down from Aaron’s beard to the skirt of his garment. This anointing oil was made from various components which could never be cohesive until they were blended together with the olive oil (Ex. 30). So it is in our day. Each saint has a distinctive character and temperament which makes unity almost impossible, but when the Holy Spirit—pictured by the olive oil—is introduced, our differences are merged into a cohesive unity pleasing to God. May we each give the Holy Spirit His way so that unity will be maintained and God glorified. —W. H. Burnett
We would remember we are one, with every saint that loves Thy name;
United to Thee on the throne, our Lord, our life, our hope the same. —Author Unknown
