An Idea Borrowed

Years ago on a radio program someone shared that they read a chapter in Proverbs every day. Since there are 31 chapters and the longest month has 31 days it allows you to read through Proverbs on a regular basis. I use it as the launch pad for my personal worship time and branch out from there. On this blog I will try to share some of the insights I have in the Word. I will try to organize them in the archive by reference.

Angels? What Angels?

Psalm 91:11 (KJV) For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

(Proverbs 28 also read)

As I was watching the clouds morph across the sky, I was impressed by the variety and the complexity of what God had made.  And then you take the scriptures which tell us Jesus is the one who holds it all together.  I was being grateful.  I was being thankful.  I was worshiping.

And the Holy Spirit brought to mind as I was thinking that the angels were also active.  So I spent a few moments, rejoicing and thanking the angels for what they do.  I became aware of the fact that, just as I cannot really see all the little intricate things that Jesus does to maintain the world, I don’t see most of what the angels do either.  Again I’ve written this before, but how many viruses have they intercepted?  How many drunk drivers have they steered into a tree before they got to me?  How many times I’ve been totally unaware of the terminating forces that are descending upon me?

I don’t know.  But I do know that I have Providence to thank.  That can be phrased in terms of grace, the Holy Spirit, and even angels.  God works in mysterious ways.

So?  That means He does work, is active, gets involved.  Let’s hear it for unseen blessings, and by that I don’t mean that they aren’t happening.  It’s just that we are not aware of them.
