Protected by Angels




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.
