MINISTERING ANGELS
Ps. 103:20-21 Praise the LORD, you angels of his, you mighty creatures who carry out his plans, listening for each of his commands. Yes, praise the LORD, you armies of angels who serve him and do his will. NLT
Angels. Much has been said and written about them. Some would deny they even exist, but the Bible is very clear, they do. Angels are ministering servants of God. He created them differently than He created us. They are spiritual beings who often take on human form. They have visited different people on earth over the years. Each believer is assigned an angel to watch over them and help them as they live by faith. They have the ability to think, communicate and act, all under the direction of God.
Angels carry out God's plans. They listen attentively to God and then do His bidding. Sometimes the Scriptures reveal that they carry out judgment on man for his sinfulness. Sometimes they stand in the gap between man and certain destruction or disaster. Whatever they do, they do it under the authority of God and never outside of His will.
It is also noteworthy to know that not all angels are good. The Bible tells us that Satan was an angel who rebelled against God and was cast out of heaven along with a third of the angelic hosts. God gave them the ability to choose whom they would serve, which is interesting. They are spiritual beings without any redemptive hope if they rebel against God.
It is so comforting to know that God assigns angels to watch over us. We don't know exactly what they do most of the time for us. They are agents of God on our behalf, His chosen vessels of ministering to our needs. Whatever they do on a daily basis for the Lord, we ought to thank God for them. God never leaves us or forsakes us. He always provides for His presence with us. We are never alone. God himself and His angels are ever watching over us. Praise God from whom all blessings flow!
