How very good and pleasant it is when kindred live together in unity! It is like the precious oil on the head, running down upon the beard, on the beard of Aaron, running down over the collar of his robes. It is like the dew of Hermon, which falls on the mountains of Zion. For there the Lord ordained his blessing, life for evermore. (Psalm 133: 1-3)
Do we seek and value what is good and pleasant?
It seems to me - in looking at my own life and that of many others - we may be more attracted to other outcomes.
We seek to be entertained and excited. We seek recognition. Some seek power. Others seek wealth. An unpleasant quarrel seems to attract more than a few.
Too often we measure ourselves by how we are different - better - than another. This is neither good nor pleasant.
What do you seek? What is your goal? Goodness and delight may deserve greater priority.
