ANGELS WATCHING OVER ME

 

 

This is the 138^th letter:

 

Text for the day: Psalm 34:7

The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.

 

Our Theme for the day: Angels watching over Me

 

Our Devotional

 

I heard my friends and sister screaming and I looked out the bathroom window and saw the chimney fall a meter away from me. These are the words of a lady from Chile, where a massive earthquake with a magnitude of 8.8 just hours before hit. On that Saturday morning February 27, 2010 while people were sleeping, very early in the morning the ground started to move causing death and damage affecting about two million people. But through it all lives were spared, Maria Ojeda, Santiago is one of those whom God sent His Angels to protect that morning. In her own words she said, “We were sleeping, and suddenly a strong noise woke us up, like cars being crushed and bombs. It was like a nightmare. I thought it was the end for us. I got dressed and took my son's hand as we tried to get to the door and go downstairs, but it was impossible.

 

Everything was like in a horror movie. And the sound! Oh... I thought the earth was mad with us. Nature showed us her fury. We are ok; thank God for that, but our brothers and sisters... they are suffering.” For the next three days we shall speak to you about the work of angels. Have you ever wondered what part heavenly angels play in the affairs of the lives of mankind? What about evil angels, does God permit them to do as they please, or is it a limit to what they are allowed to do to the children of men? The Bible teaches that God is constantly working on behalf of His people, through the Holy Spirit and by angels, which are heavenly messengers. Psalm 34:7 says, “The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.”

 

This encampment of angels around the faithful followers of Christ is a 24 hour circle of protection while we live in an attitude of prayer. This is the Christians sweetest assurances that they are filled with the Spirit of God and protected by His angels. This assurance of God's approval in the heart of the Christian promotes physical health. It fortifies the soul against doubt, perplexity, and excessive grief that so often sap the vital forces and induce nervous diseases of a most debilitating and distressing character. The Lord has pledged his unfailing word that his eye shall be over the righteous and his ear open to their prayer, while he is against all them that do evil. We make very hard work for ourselves in this world when we take such a course that the Lord is against us.

I must stop by asking a question to all. When was the last time you thanked or gave God credit for protecting you by His angels? It is sad but true, most people who name the name of Christian could not even tell you the last time they thanked God for the work of angel’s. Angels of God are all around us. You do not discern them with your human vision, but they are there. Satan and his angels are near also, but they can’t touch you. Only those who place themselves under the blood-stained banner of Prince Emmanuel will be protected from the powers of darkness. Today as in days of old, angels of God are commissioned from heaven to guard the children of men.  Today Jesus is longing that we come to Him and be converted from evil, but many draw away from His restraining influences and go where they are unprotected by holy angels and left to communication with the evil angels.

 

Today evil angels are longing to fasten their impressions in the minds of the children of man.  Today Satan is trying to keep God’s children down by theater going, billiard hall, bar going, and all things that lead from the path of God. Many today have fallen into the sad error in the belief that they may violate the laws of nature to gratify pride in dress, to indulge depraved appetite, or to find enjoyment in sensual pleasure, in the days of their youth and prosperity, and then stop when they please. They will not find it an easy matter to change the current of their thoughts to divorce themselves from their frivolous pursuits, and become sensible, candid, and thoughtful.

 

Today many are squandering precious time, and losing valuable experience. Many are listening to the wrong messeger with a message of death. The characters of many profess Christians are warped and deformed by years of crooked growth. Remember, in our strength it is impossible to change. We need Jesus. Oh, that we might all obey the injunction of the apostle Paul as found in 2 Corinthians 6:17, 18. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
