Psalm 133 pushes us to think deeply about unity among believers.

Unity takes a lot of work. It does not just magically happen. And yet unity of the Spirit is a gift from God that Paul tells us to “make every effort to maintain.” There is a blessing in being together in the unity of the Spirit. Today, let’s talk about what that blessing looks like.
