As Jacob went on his way, some angels met him.
ACTS 27:23-24 (GNT)
For last night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I worship came to me and said, ‘Don't be afraid, Paul! You must stand before the Emperor. And God in his goodness to you has spared the lives of all those who are sailing with you.’
THE ESSENCE
Sometimes God sends angels.
DAILY FODDER
Just thinking out loud — could it be that God sometimes sends angels to do his bidding because he knows that we'd be overwhelmed by his direct glorious presence?
PRAYER
Great and glorious God, thank you for intervening in my situation, even if it sometimes involves angels. Forgive me for limiting my perspective to what I in my narrow view can see. I want to trust you when I'm facing "situations." I'm not going to limit my thinking to the conventional. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
