ANGELS

And when Peter had come to himself, he said, “Now I know for certain that the Lord has sent His angel, and has delivered me from the hand of Herod and from all the expectation of the Jewish people.” Acts 12:11 KJV.

The Old and New Testament contain at least 300 references to angels. Everywhere in Scripture, we see examples of angels at work. Story after story tells us about the work of angels.

When Peter was arrested for preaching the gospel, the church prayed. And in answer to their prayers, God dispatched an angel to deliver Peter, who was in such deep sleep, the Bible tells us, that the angel had to strike him to wake up. The chains fell off his wrists, the prison door opened automatically, and Peter walked out.

And as Hebrews 1:14 tells us, angels have a special work they do in the lives of believers: “Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?” Generally we don’t know what angels are doing and when they are doing it. They are God’s Special Forces: they are dispatched on a mission, they go in, they take care of business, and we are never aware of it.

Angels are God’s secret agents. They are His ministering servants, protecting, delivering, and guiding God’s people. You don’t see them. You don’t need to engage them. You don’t need to try and communicate with them. They are simply doing the work that God has called them to do.

Prayer: Thank God for His angelic protection for you and your family.

Scriptural Reading: Acts 12:1-19
