TREASURY BONDS – Psalm 133 – 10-13-24

Providence Community Church

The poetic imagery of this song evokes the beauty and blessings of condescension. Anointing oil poured from above, dew falling, as it were, from on high and appearing at the mountain of God where heaven touches earth. Ps 133 expounds in metaphor the precious gift of the God-glorifying communion of the saints. David compares the gift of brotherly love to blessings descending from the storehouses of glory reassuring the people of the Lord's favor, faithfulness, and sufficiency. Paired with the Lord's prayer in Mat 6:10, it is clear, one sign of God's will and kingdom present on this earth is the sweetness of Christian fellowship. Where Jacob's ladder is touching ground, brethren dwell together in unity. For those who have the atonement of Christ in common, there can be no greater experience of solidarity and joy so long as we walk in the Spirit. Let us repair our souls to the affections expressed in Psalm 133 as we behold this text.
