Are angels not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation ? Hebrews 1:14 More than a few parents have been guilty of following their young children as they walk the short way to school. Their parental priority was protection -- but doing so invisibly, from a distance, so as to allow their child a sense of independence. As parents protect their children, so angels are sent to protect Gods children. In the angelic realm, protection as a responsibility is apparently well known. When Satan tempted Jesus, challenging Him to jump from the highest point of the temple, he quoted Psalm 91:11: For He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways (Matthew 4:6). In spite of that promise, Jesus didnt yield to the devils challenge and neither should we act foolishly, expecting to be protected by angels. But we can be assured that angels -- our unseen guardians -- are aware of our steps and are there to protect and minister to us. Every moment of the day -- especially when traveling or heading into challenging situations -- is a good time to thank God for the angels who are there to care for you.
