Angels Are With Us!
"Last night an angel of the God to whom I
belong and whom I serve stood beside me."
Acts 27: 23
Be careful about using the word angel carelessly. Have you
ever
watched someone render an act of kindness and said of her, “She’s
just an angel.” Or perhaps you appreciated a medical worker who
helped you through a crisis. You might say, “He was God’s angel
to me.”
Remember, angels are not human beings. They are a special species
created by God, living beings that are not humans though they may at
times assume human form. Book of Hebrews says, “Are not all angels
ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?”
(Hebrews 1: 14).
During our Lord’s life on earth, angels helped Him at many points,
announcing His birth, comforting Him in the desert, strengthening
Him in Gethsemane, and being ready to rescue Him from
crucifixion if He had only asked (Matthew 26:53).
They rejoiced in His resurrection and
moved the stone to reveal His empty tomb.
Angels played a role in Christ’s earthly life, just as they do in
ours. They work to fulfill God’s purpose. They are not human;
they're super-human and closer to you today than you realize.
"It is a whisper-thin veil that separates the nature
from the supernatural, meaning divine activity is
all around us."
