When God Sends You An Angel (1)
"Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?" Hebrews 1:14 NIV
God can come to you in varied forms. When Jesus appeared to his disciples and stilled the storm, they thought He was a ghost. So, your intellect can undermine your faith. The Bible says angels are "ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation." Have you ever seen an angel? They aren't always dressed in white with dramatically arched wings. Sometimes they're so ordinary that they're overlooked. "Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it" (Hebrews 13:2 NIV). Perhaps you think God doesn't send angels because He has given us His Holy Spirit to help, protect, and guide us. Not so. Remember, God sent an angel to deliver Peter from prison on the eve of his execution. On his way to Rome, Paul was on board a ship that was destined to be destroyed by a ferocious storm. But God sent an angel to assure him he would survive it. So, Paul announced to the crew and passengers: "Take heart, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship. For there stood by me this angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve, saying, 'Do not be afraid, Paul'...Therefore take heart, men, for I believe God that it will be just as it was told to me" (Acts 27:22-25 NKJV). You may not be able to see angels, but you can be certain that they see you; indeed, they never take their eyes off you! (See Matthew 18:10.)
