Protected by Angels


Daily Devotional Ebenezer


Hebrews 1: 14 NCV
14 All the angels are spirits who serve God and are sent to help those who will receive salvation.

When you read the Bible, I know you would have seen references made to Angels, I am under corrections, but I believe over 300 referrals. The angels are many and mighty!

Daniel finds himself in the lion's den. He said the mouth of the lions stays closed. Do you remember when the Apostle Peter was locked up and would await his execution the next day? Well, the angel came and rescued him.

Think about Elisha standing up against a vast army? Was his servant anxious? The Lord opened
the servant's eyes, and he saw: "and the Lord opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about." 2 Kings Chapter 6, verse 17. 

I wonder what I would do if God opened my eyes? Who is protecting me while I am sleeping? Who is escorting my children to work and back? Shielding me from any drunkards on the roads. According to the late Billy Graham, "If you are a believer, expect powerful angels to accompany you in your life."

So remember, who is the protector? "Those who will receive salvation." Ultimately rejections of the Lord Jesus mean you have no cover. Or accepting the Lord Jesus means you are covered 24/7. Psalms 34, verses 7, says, "The angel of the Lord encamps all around those who fear Him, and delivers them." The angels encamped around you and me.  

Prayer

Heavenly Father, Lord, You are fantastic and thank you for sending Your angels to protect and encamp around me today. I know that through my accepting the Lord Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour, I am secure in You. Your angels protect my family and me. Thank you, Lord, amen.

#never #destroyed

https://goo.gl/xK6bTg 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9AMP “We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair; hunted down and persecuted, but not deserted [to stand alone]; struck down, but never destroyed;” I realized that my emotions are something that can cause me to feel pressure and hedged in. My circumstances seem impossible and I feel that there is no way I am going to make it. Then it’s time to check what is going on in your personal life.  Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating properly? Do you take a break from time to time? If I don’t get enough sleep it seems despair is knocking at my door, and I feel miserable. I just cannot move forward, I want to curl up and died. Just because I am tired and there seems to be no way out. Emotions have a way of controlling each one of us. I realized that I will never be destroyed because there is a way forward.  God gave me common sense an...

You are a Blessing to me!

Working in a multiracial office is always interesting, and my story today is one about sharing and looking out for each other.    Our cleaning lady doesn’t earn much and I doubt even if they are paying her ‘mini mum wages’.   Nevertheless the people in our office know this and worry about her.    One of the young ladies decided to give her a newspaper with all the latest add in it.   As she paged through the paper she sat next to her and asked her ‘what do you like’.    Looking at the stuff on the page she pick out a couple of things that seemed impossible to own and said to this young girl.   I like this and I would love to have one of these. Without her knowledge the Human Resource division made a collection and they then assigned the task to the young lady to buy the things Judy wanted. We gave her, her gifts today.   I was amazed at her gratefulness, tears of joy running down her face and all she could say was “T...

Help Me Stay True in Giving God His Tithe

Can I be real with you for a minute? Tithing is something I wrestle with. I try my best to be faithful, giving to the best of my ability. But let's be honest, sometimes I look around and see others who seem to be blessed in ways I'm not. They have this financial ease, this "caliber" of blessing, that can feel a world away from my own reality. And in those moments of doubt, a quiet, gentle voice reminds me: I am blessed. God does provide. He has come through for me more times than I can count, often in ways I didn't even see until later. He's always there, picking me up when I've lost it and guiding me when I'm blind to the path. My heart is so grateful for that. But my thinking still needs work. My human nature kicks in and whispers, "I earned this. I worked for this salary." It’s a constant battle to get my heart aligned with the truth. And the truth is found in verses like this: “A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the ...
