Most of us heard about our
guardian angel when we were just children. And, in those days, it was a
comforting thought. With monsters lurking behind the closet door and
creepy things crawling beneath the bed, it was good to know that someone
was there to protect us when the light was out.
But, as the years
passed, we outgrew our childhood fears. The imaginary creatures that
had once seemed so real disappeared from our minds—and sadly enough, for
most of us, the angels did too.
But angels are not just kid stuff. They're powerful spirits sent forth to minister for us who are heirs of salvation.
The word salvation in Hebrews 1:14 is from the Greek word soteria meaning
"deliverance, preservation...material, and temporal deliverance." Just
think about that! God has created vast numbers of gloriously powerful
spiritual beings for the express purpose of protecting us and delivering
us from the evils of this world.
And remember, according to Psalm
103:20, the Word of God is what puts those angels in action. So when
you're in trouble, don't cower and cry about how awful things are. Speak
the Word! Give your angels something to respond to. Then be patient and
let them have time to work. They'll get their job done.
