We all love pleasant things and experiences. Yet it is sometimes frequent that our pleasure is not with good things, but with things and experiences that are far far from being good. But, here we see something that is both good and pleasant. And that experience of David's can also be ours in the fellowship of the saints as we gather to worship. At the turn of the century there was a family where two brothers would regularly have a knock down drag out wrestling match to determine who would get the buggy to go courting.
Brotherly love ought more often to be seen.
That I am sure was David's desire, his own sons at one time presented quite a spectacle to Israel. And yet, isn't this brotherly love essential in Christ's own Church. After all, God is the Lord and Father of us all here assembled today. Now I do not mean that uniformity is essential. By no means.
