powerful message from Psalm 133


Psalm 133 NLT

How wonderful and pleasant it iswhen brothers live together in harmony!2 For harmony is as precious as the anointing oilthat was poured over Aaron’s head,that ran down his beardand onto the border of his robe.3 Harmony is as refreshing as the dew from Mount Hermonthat falls on the mountains of Zion.  And there the Lord has pronounced his blessing,even life everlasting.

One week ago Sunday our team sat at the New Jerusalem Baptist Church in Havana, Cuba as the pastor brought a powerful message from Psalm 133.  It was the church’s final message in a series about family.

As you most likely know everything in the service was in Spanish.  The music was in Spanish.  The Scripture reading, testimony, preaching and all was in Spanish. Our interpreter William would share parts of what was going on with us, but we only got bits and pieces.

But it was still powerful to me as the Spirit of God brought understanding to me.  During the service the pastor’s wife, also the church’s worship leader, brought her family around her and shared a testimony of God’s love and their commitment to one another.   The service ended with all the men in service being brought to the front of the sanctuary to be prayed for as men and leaders of their home.

The message began, and I had taken a new Bible with me that is connected to an application on my iPhone with notes from Scripture.  This one was deep.  Checkout the verses again as you read through them.

Thoughts of harmony and unity are huge and needed by all.  When we live in unity, our homes and families are much stronger!  Unity becomes like anointing oil.  It is not just any oil but one that has spread over the man of who seeks the Lord and leads others.  The final verse talked about unity being like the fresh dew coming down from a mountain.

That mountain as history and geography tells us has snow on top of it.  The wind and weather bring a cool refreshing dew that helps all around.

I was touched big time by the message even though I couldn’t understand all the pastor shared. God shared much with me and with my heart.  I am still taking in those pieces and hope that today as you read through these verses that you will let harmony and what God sends to refresh and encourage you!

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

wash feet, sharing hope

  John 13:4-5,14 NLT  So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow.  He served.  He valued and gave value to others.  That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet.  It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives.  Jesus said we should do this.  See the verse above.  Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
