Our Lord, God, Almighty is at work in our lives every moment. He demonstrates His love for us through angels, who watch over us during our times of trouble.
The words angels or angel is in the Bible 286 to 327 times, depending on the translation. Angels appear in every section of the Bible. In each case they are doing God’s work on earth. Billy Graham calls angels “God’s secret agents”. An agent is one who acts on behalf of another, doing work in the name of the one he represents. This is exactly what angels do as they do work in the name of God. They minister to us in various ways.
Angels told Abraham that Isaac would be born. (Gen 18:10) An angel told Mary that she would be the mother of Jesus. (Luke 1:26-31) An angel announced the birth of Jesus to shepherds. (Luke 2:8-11)
Angels also protect us as they protected Daniel by shutting the mouths of the lions in the den where he had been thrown. (Daniel 6:22) Angels ministered to Hagar and her dying son Ishmael in the wilderness. (Genesis 21:17-18) An angel fed the exhausted and disheartened Elijah fleeing Jezebel’s wrath. (1 Kings 19:5), and angels delivered the apostle Peter from prison. (Acts 12:7)
Do we encounter Angels today?
Christians sometimes question whether angels are active in our live today. Hebrews 13:2 says, “Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it.”
We have God’s promises of continuing angelic protection. (Psalm 91:11) says “For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.”
There are many credible testimonies today because of their work among us. Angels are not here to make a show of themselves but to serve and help us. We can encounter angels anywhere. They are the person you have never seen who gives you encouragement or someone who appears when you desperately need help. I am convinced that angels are all around us everyday.
The Lord impressed upon my heart that Jennie’s grandmother possibly was helped by two male angels recently. As you see now in her mid eighties Granny has recently been suffering from the early stages of Alzheimer’s. Granny decided to go for a drive along the interstate. After driving for awhile she got tired and parked her vehicle along side of the road to go to sleep. When she woke up she decided to take a walk. Two men noticed her walking around confused, brought her back to her vehicle, got her some gas and gave her directions to get back home. After getting lost again and trying to find her daughter’s work she finally ended up walking around the LSU campus in Baton Rouge.
My Prayer: Heavenly Father, God Almighty, I thank You tonight dear Lord for sending these two men, Your angels to protect Granny during her confusion while she was in the midst suffering from the affects of this dreadful this disease. Please bless these two men for their compassion and kindness to help Granny and not harm her in her time of need. So many people would have taken advantage of this situation dear Lord. I ask You dearest Father to be with Tiny and Danny as they take on the responsibility of caring for their loved one Mildred. Please give them Your Godly wisdom in all the decisions they make concerning their personal life as well as her affairs. Please bless their relationship with love and prosperity, and give them patience, comfort, and peace as they enter this season while making the commitment to be the caretakers of Mildred. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
