Can I get an 'Amen'?

"Revelation tells us that in heaven, that God will lead his people to streams of living water, that we will never again hunger or thirst. That God will ever be with us, and that he will wipe every tear from our eyes.

We will enjoy a closeness with him, a dependence upon him. But this is not just good news for the already dead or for those who will soon die. The desire of Jesus is that God’s will would be done on earth just as it is in heaven. He wants us to be moving closer to God, closer to dependence on him now.

In doing so, there are available to us glimpses of eternity, snapshots of heaven, for us and the whole world as we move closer to him.

Today I want to focus on one particular way that happens. We find it in our text for the day. This is the last psalm of ascent we will be studying.

Psalm 133.

1 How good and pleasant it is
when brothers live together in unity!

2 It is like precious oil poured on the head,
running down on the beard,
running down on Aaron's beard,
down upon the collar of his robes.

3 It is as if the dew of Hermon
were falling on Mount Zion.

For there the LORD bestows his blessing, even life forevermore.

Verse one says, “How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity! For,” says verse three, “ there the LORD bestows his blessing, even life forevermore.” The LORD bestows his blessing of forevermore life there in the place where brothers and sisters live together in untiy.

There we get a glimpse of eternal life. There we receive a foretaste of heaven. There God’s will is done on earth as it is in heaven. When brothers and sisters live together in unity."

What will you do today to ensure unity tomorrow?
