Abide: Praying the PsalmsNäide

PRAYING SCRIPTURE

Psalm 133:1–3

Psalm 133 is a prayer for unity. Kingdom people are filled with the Holy Spirit. They follow Jesus and seek the glory of the Father. At the heart of this is the pursuit of unity (v. 1). The psalmist likened unity to anointing oil running down the beard and clothing of a priest and the dew running down a mountain. Perhaps the psalmist was saying unity is a gift descending from God alone. Jesus also spoke about the importance of unity among believers as a central element of the gospel message in the world (John 17:20–23). Pray for the unity of the church.
