Angels Watch Over Us!
But while Joseph thought about these things,
behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him
in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do
not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife,
for
that which is conceived in her is of the
Holy Spirit.”
Matthew 1: 20
We have questions to ask and decisions to make;
we search for biblical means for decision-making:
prayer, biblical principles, counsel, and more. But
one thing we don’t often consider is that God will
use an angel to direct us.
Think of Joseph when he learned that his betrothed,
Mary, was pregnant. A good man, Joseph intended
to end the engagement
quietly so as not to bring
shame upon Mary.
But an angel came to him in a dream and told him
to go ahead with his marriage to Mary because her
pregnancy was of divine origin. The message led
Joseph to marry Mary and become
the earthly
father of Jesus.
Consider Daniel: For three weeks he prayed for
understanding, and then an angel appeared and
told him the delay was due to spiritual warfare in
the heavenlies (Daniel 10).
Make allowance in your decision making for
the ministry of angels. Directly or indirectly,
seen or unseen, they are commissioned
by
God to help you.
"Angels will never be kings.
They will always be servants."
