The Lord’s Care Through Angels
When I was a young person, my friend John and I used to like to body surf on the roof of his car on a roller coaster road on a dark night near our hometown of Smiths Falls. It is a very dangerous sport, and I do not recommend it, nor will I give any details as to how it is done. When I think of it now it makes me shudder to consider what the consequences could have been.
Now that I am older, I am thankful for the Lord’s care, and for the Scripture that tells us of one of the functions of angels. “Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation” (Hebrews 1:14)? Yes, I am sure that the Lord was using more than one angel to keep me from harm as a teenager. David said, “The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear Him, and delivereth them” (Psalm 34:7). David had many dangers in his life, but he was thankful for the Lord’s care through those angelic beings.
As you start another month, go forth with a sense of the Lord’s preserving care…and please, don’t do anything foolish, like body surf on car roofs!!!!
