Want Some Help?
"Are angels not all ministering spirits
sent forth to
minister for those who
will inherit salvation?"
Hebrews 1:14
“Want some help?” How encouraging it is
to
hear those words! They may come from your
neighbor who gives you an extra set of hands.
Or, they come from a stranger when
you had
to pull to the side of the road. One mission of
God’s angels is to help us in ways no one
else
can.
Even Jesus needed the help of an angel
in the most difficult moment of His life. He
was in the Garden of Gethsemane praying
to the Father about the path ahead of Him,
a path leading to a cross on Calvary.
And “an angel appeared to Him from heaven,
strengthening Him.” So great was His anguish
that He sweat drops of blood as He prayed
(Luke 22:43-44).
If Jesus needed strength and
support
in trying moments of His life, how much
more might we need the same?
Live a life of awareness of angels when
you need help. Don’t project how they will
help; just believe that they may be God’s
way
to meet your needs.
"Angels are dispensers and
administrators of the divine
beneficence towards us."
John Calvin
