“O longing hearts that wait on God
Through all the world so wide;
He knows the angels that you need,
And sends them to your side,
To
comfort, guard and guide.”1
Dear
hearts,
God knows us. His ever-presence is revealed to us by His angel visitants speaking of His constant love and care. If we are still and turn from the tumult of the media, the pressures of the finances, the loneliness of all our struggles, to Him the God of Love, we will see Life as it is all harmonious.

Christ
Jesus walked over the waves of the foaming sea, feed the multitudes without a ‘job’
or selling something, healed the sick, and raised the dead in direct opposition
of all the chaos and struggles of that time. He revealed to us ‘Immanuel—God with
us’2.
David
said in his Psalms, “For
he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall
bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.”3
He
was speaking not only of Christ Jesus which the devil repeated tempting him
after his forty days of prayer and fasting, but to us all. He, God, gives us
His angels charge over us, to keep us in all our duties. The angels bear us up
in their power, lest we dash our foot against a wisdom or rule. We get to not
only be protected by these angelic communications from God. But we are also
taught lessons by them. Whenever we falter,
fight against one of God’s commands through admission or direct denial, His
angel messages turn us back to His ways, directing our paths back to His
constant progressive control.
Christ
Jesus showed time and time again the power that his/our Father does for all.
His healing nature, His protection, His constant love is for us all to witness
and prove.
The
revelation that God sends His angels to us constantly directing, guiding,
sheltering, tenderly tending to our every need is a power that would change our
lives if acknowledged.
Why
do we not hear or feel these angelic messages? It is because we have not
trained our thoughts to turn to Him, to listen for His direction. We think we ‘have
it covered’, that we can do it, take care of it, ‘figure it out’. But can
we? Look around, how are we doing? The
chaos, noise, tumult, fear, and anger that people are feeling reveals that we
aren’t doing it well on our own.
It
is like having the TV on and not seeing a weather alert because we have tuned
it out. Instead we have our ear buds in our ears listening to loud music
ignoring the warnings. We cannot hear the alerts unless we look up and see the
warning on the TV. How does this pertain to God and His healing messages? We
must remove all obstacles and turn our attention to God to hear, see, and to
know better. We must learn how to focus
on God alone. Then we will be as those in
the Bible who had a direct line of communication from God to man to turn to,
follow, and be saved by.
“O wake and hear the
angel-song
That bids all discord cease,From pain and sorrow, doubt and fear,
It brings us sweet release;
And so our hearts find peace.”4
Let
us awaken to the realization that God is with us every step of every day. He
bids all discord to cease, all pain, sorrow, doubt, and fear. He brings to us
all sweet release from these and all burdens. We find our peace in His Love and
He in turns sends His angels to bear us up at all times revealing to us His
tender constant care.
Gentle
hugs
