The Apostle Paul said that we are to endeavor to keep the unity of the Spirit. Another version says “Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit.” In other words, this is a priority to God. Psalms 133 says “Behold how good and pleasant it is when brethren dwell together in unity.” There is perfect unity in the Godhead, The Father, The Son, and the Holy Spirit. There is no division, no separation, no mistrust. There is only trust, honor, and pure love. We were created in His Image. We have the capacity to dwell together in unity. However, we also have the tendency to fall into anger, offense, pride and arrogance. When we allow that to happen, we stop endeavoring or making every effort to dwell together in unity. This is not God’s will. Jesus prayed in John 17 for us, that we would be one, just as He and the Father are one. Let’s pray that we would see that in our lifetime. This would truly please the heart of God!
Ephesians 4:2 – endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
King David had many troubles in his life. He was almost murdered by King Saul various times due to jealousy. Neither his father nor his brothers respected him, nor recognized the king within him. He had to fight a giant that no one else would dare confront. Yet in all that, King David trusted God in the midst of his trials and troubles, and God brought him to a place of rest and peace. Have you brought your problems to the Lord? He is your shepherd, and He will bring you besides “peaceful streams!”
Psalms 23: 2 He lets me rest in green meadows; He leads me beside peaceful streams.
