How good and delightful

How beautiful and delightful is the goodness of the Lord.

Text: Psalm 133

One of the things we've been thinking about as we've read through the Ascension Psalms is how to read them canonically, that is, how they fit together as a whole. We have seen that we are on a trajectory from Galilee to Jerusalem to the Cross to life in the resurrected Christ. Tomorrow, we are nearing the end. Psalm 133 anticipates, in a deep and hope-filled way, eternity bound together in Christ, in unity one with another.

Although short, Psalm 133 is a beautiful illumination of the saints' unified worship. There are beautiful similes that depict good and delightful worship as the saints are bound together for all eternity.
