How wonderful and pleasant it is
when brothers live together in harmony! For harmony is as precious as the anointing oil
that was poured over Aaron’s head… and there the Lord has pronounced his blessing.
– Psalms 133:1-3

The Lord commands a blessing, and when He does, it’s as good as done! No word from God is without the power to make that word happen. But it’s important to take notice of the place where the Lord pronounces a blessing. There is a certain position and disposition in which the blessing is given: it’s in a place of harmony, unity, and love.

Let’s focus on harmony in our home, among family. It is both precious and powerful! Harmony is something to be pursued and guarded. What is the harmony level in your home today? And here’s the bigger question: what are you going to do about it? You can’t make people get along with you, but you can take the initiative in pursuing harmony!

There is a fragrance to harmony that is strong, wonderful, and easy to detect – like the anointing oil that was poured on Aaron’s head and ran down his beard. It was visible to the eye and it was easy to discern because the strong fragrance could not be missed.   Just as love, unity, and harmony are easily discerned, so are the opposites: bitterness, anger, victim mentality, and offense. Bitterness also has an odor, and it stinks! I encourage you to pursue harmony in your family today, and may it bring a pleasing aroma that  shifts the atmosphere in your home!

I want to be in the position and disposition where you command a blessing on my life, my home, my family, and my future! Grant me wisdom and grace to love others the way you love me… to always pursue reconciliation and to guard harmony! Thank you, Amen!”
