Angels on duty

   I am convinced that God's angels are always on duty in our lives and are more involved in our day to day busyness than we think. It seems to me that we see and interact with them more than we realize. I believe these angels do not always appear in their angelic form, but quite often take on the appearance of a human to come to our aid in times of need. Most often these “angels” appear during a prayer for just the help they bring.

   Whether in a strange man whose stature nearly exceeds 7 feet suddenly showing up and offering much needed guidance, whose  piercing eyes make you uncomfortable under their gaze and who upon receiving help for you stands a distance off watching over you until you are safe again, than disappears into the airport corridors to not be seen again. Or a white haired elderly man showing up at a time of fear, whose very presence supplies you with peace and reassurance, a man who stills your hearts fears with just a glance at his kind face, who stays near watching over the situation until it is solved, supplying you with a feeling of protection and of God’s immanent presence. It might even be so little as a friendly greeting or a smiling face in a time of insecurity and fear. I firmly believe all such instances were angels appearing on the scene to reassure, encourage, embolden and bring me peace.

     God is true to His promises to never leave us, never forsake us and never ignore us. To always guide, protect, reassure and comfort us, supplying us with such in our times of need. Be careful how you treat those who show up in unexpected and leave just as suddenly, you never know when you are in the presence of an angel.

“For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;  they will lift you up in their hands…” 
Psalm 91:11-12
“For the glory of God!”
