Angels in the Life of the Believer

"But angels are only servants. They are spirits sent from God to care for those who will receive salvation." Hebrews 1:14

Don't you just love that verse? There was a time when I thought of angels as only being little fairy like creatures with wings and wands, granting wishes or saving someone from disasters. But then I grew up : ) I have definitely aged, but more importantly, my relationship with God has really grown.

Back to the verse: BUT ANGELS ARE ONLY SERVANTS. SENT FROM GOD TO CARE FOR THOSE WHO WILL RECIEVE SALVATION. In the cracks and corners of my small little mind. it says to me that we all are angels, even though we are not physically sitting at the right hand of God getting our "to do" lists. But right here in our temporary home, we are and can be angels.

Remember that old program Touched By an Angel? I only watched it a couple of times because I didn't believe in angels at the time, and thought the whole idea of God making a regular person on earth an angel to do God's work was stupid. But there it is in the Bible. God does take regular people who believe in Him and everything about Him, and uses them to do His will.

We are smack dab in the middle of the holiday season. Christmas has passed, and New Years are right around the corner. I was thinking about this verse and the angels I have actually had come to me over the past few weeks. I was without a car, and an angel offered hers to me to buy. I was going out to lunch with a bunch of friends, and an angel slipped a gift into my knitting bag when I wasn't around. I was purchasing a gift for my son on Craigslist for Christmas, and when I went to pick it up and pay for it, the woman handed it over and said "Merry Christmas, I don't need any money for it, I hope your son enjoys it." and wouldn't take a dime. ANGELS!! They are all over the place!! They are friends, strangers, snowplowers, mailmen, check-out clerks, people in the pews, people on the street. They are believers who is open to Gods voice and will go everywhere God sends them. Angels.

So I want to here your angel stories. Has God placed angels in your path this Christmas season? It is nice to hear how God is using you to be an encouragement to others. GOD BLESS!!!!
