My Sunday school class
is currently studying Angels. It is amazing to me how many times God
sent Angels to tell mortals what they need to do or what God wants them
to do. Most of us think of Angels as kind and ?angelic?. This was not
always the case. When God was mad at David for taking a census of the
Israelites, he sent an Angel that carried a big sword.
Several people said that it would be great if we had a sign from God in
the form of an Angel. Would we even recognize that this was an Angel?
In the Old Testament, the people were always looking for a sign. Was
the parting of the Red sea and the burning bush not enough? When God
stopped showing his strength, the people strayed and became sinful all
over again. Is that where we are today?
The discussion this week centered around what would they look like and
do we have them in our everyday life. As I looked at the people in my
class, I explained how most of them had been true Angels to me. When my
son was sick, they brought food. When my mother had surgery they all
showed up to pray with her before she was rolled into the surgery area.
When we are on the highway and we suddenly take a wrong turn, did an
Angel divert us from possible danger? I believe we all have a Guardian
Angel. If I did not have one, with the wildness of my youth, I would
probably not be here today.
Thank you God for all the Angels I see and have in my life. Especially,
I want to thank you for the Angels that constantly watch over me, even
though I can not see them, I just believe that they are there. Believe
the toughest
word in Christianity.
