The Shopper Thursday, July 27, 2017 by Pastor Ron Abbott The Backside of The Pulpit HARMONY! 9 1 Peter 3:8-9 8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: 9 Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing. The phrase “one mind” here is the Greek homophron and means “harmonious” and yet the word “harmony” does not appear in the Authorized Version of the Bible! Yet that is the word that was on my mind when I awoke rested. My very own definition of harmony is: “when all things are as they should be!” Jesus, in Matthew 11:29 invites us to pull His load by taking His yoke on our shoulders. At the same time we are to learn about and from Him. The result, He said, would be rest for our souls. The Greek word for “rest” here is anapausis and means “an intermission; recreation.” This is a pause which accompanies both labor and learning. I call it harmony – when things are as they should be. Are things as they should be between you and Jesus? Would you call that relationship music or noise? Are you in harmony with others? Is there harmony in your own soul or are you at war with yourself? Job 22:21 21 Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee. Lord, let harmony reign in my life today.
