When God Sends You An Angel (2)
"He will order his angels to protect you wherever you go." Psalms 91:11 NLT
In what situation might God send an angel to help you? (1) When those you love and trust have disappointed you. Imagine how Hagar felt. In a joint decision with his wife Sarah, Abraham got Hagar pregnant in order to try and fulfill God's promise. Then when Isaac was born a year later, he sent her away without child support. Weeping and believing they would both die, Hagar left baby Ishmael under a tree and walked away. But God sent an angel to tell her that her son was a child of destiny from whom would come a great people (See Genesis 21:18). (2) When you're facing embarrassment and can't defend yourself. Mary planned to get married first, then have a baby. But God had a different plan. Not only was she facing public humiliation, but according to the law, she should be put to death. But God sent an angel to vindicate her and tell her that she was in the center of His will (See Luke 1:34-38). (3) When you're grieving the death of someone you love and fearing for your future. Mary Magdalene loved Jesus more than life itself, so when He died and was buried, she was distraught and heartbroken. That's when God sent an angel to announce: "He is not here: for he is risen" (Matthew 28:6). The Bible says, "Some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it" (Hebrews 13:2 NIV). If you allow it to, a cynical world will make you doubt that God actually loves you so much He would send an angel to help you. But it's true.
