Psalm 133

Life forever...eternal life as we read in the New Testament. Here in this Psalm we see that in verse one, brothers living together in unity, in reciprocal, covenantal relationships is "good" and "pleasant." Then verses two and three go on to draw a wonderfully poetic picture to support the beauty of relationships of brotherly love in the greater context of a common love for God.

Then, finally, as the Psalm concludes, "For there.." which is a directional statement, not however geographically but relationally, meaning "there" in a relationship of brotherly love where there is shared love and devotion for God. And then it comes, "life forever."

My life message is eternal life...and I believe the five components of eternal life are devotion to Christ, intimacy with God, care of one another, appetite for personal transformation, and diligence in ministry. You show me someone who is ever increasing in these five "practices of righteousness" (Biblical terminology) and I will show you someone discovering the depths of eternal life, a life not just measured on the time continuum but the depth continuum as well!

Psalm 133, life forever, eternal life, discover the depths!
