Today's Daily Lesson is from Psalm 133
1 Oh, how good and pleasant it is,
when brethren live together in unity!
2 It is like fine oil upon the head
that runs down upon the beard,
3 Upon the beard of Aaron,
and runs down upon the collar of his robe.
4 It is like the dew of Hermon
that falls upon the hills of Zion.
5 For there the Lord has ordained the blessing:
life for evermore.
When there is unity and collegiality and a spirit of trust in the leadership of a church or business or any other institution it trickles down. It affects the whole organization. It is like an anointing of a head with a great and generous portion of oil which then flows down upon the whole body.
Of course, mistrust, dissension, and conflict flow down from the top also. They are like pollutants that run down a mountain and poison the whole valley beneath. It's a killer -- spirit killer, community killer, fellowship killer, and life killer.
Want to know how healthy an organization is? Want to know how healthy it will be in another year? Look at the relationships of its leaders. They will tell you everything.
