Fw: Covered!

133 Behold, how good and pleasant it is
    when brothers dwell in unity!
It is like the precious oil on the head,
    running down on the beard,
on the beard of Aaron,
    running down on the collar of his robes!
It is like the dew of Hermon,
    which falls on the mountains of Zion!
For there the Lord has commanded the blessing,
    life forevermore.

The images of oil saturating the head and beard of Aaron, the high priest, and of the dew of Hermon covering the mountains picture the covering of God over His people and His creation.  When men share this covering they are drawn together in unity that is sweet because they are set free from rivalry as they submit to the One with whom they will live forever.  No more must they compete as they are complete.  No longer will they wrestle for power for they have experienced the touch of the all-powerful.  No longer will they fear for they have found the bridge of faith.

blessings!

Note: Mt. Hermon is the highest point in Israel...nearly 10,000 feet and it provides the source for the Jordan River which then flows to the Seal of Galilee.

"Death is inevitable.  Life is a choice!"

John 11:25
Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live."
