Angels Are Watching Over You
For He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways. Psalm 91:11
Before there was an Elevation Worship and Jireh there was the Sunday School song titled Jehovah Jireh whose lyrics were penned from Palm 91. Most believers sing or read past this promise with very little thought about the magnitude of what is being said. People of God, this is the Word of the Lord concerning us today. Regardless of the attacks that may come against us, the Lord our God is declaring that He is with us. He will never leave us nor forsake us.
Verse 11 says, “For He will give His angels charge concerning you!” What does that mean? When you take charge of something, you put yourself in a place of leadership. You begin to call the shots! Telling everyone what to do and how to do it. If angels are taking charge of the things that concern us, God has given the angels, not the circumstances, the authority to act on our behalf. I am sure you’ve heard accounts of cars in an accident and suddenly there was a force that protected them from the impact – that is the charge of an angel sent to protect you.
Hebrews 1:14 teaches that angels are “ministering spirits sent out to serve for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation.”
When we look to God as the source of our protection and provision, the angels are constantly rendering us aid and taking charge of our affairs.
No doubt, believers are not fully aware of the ministry of angels on their behalf, but it’s possible that God allows them to intervene on our behalf. Angelic protection is just another one of the unique ways in which God has provided protection. He charged angels to guard us in all our ways.
Prayer for today: Lord, as I proclaim Your Word in faith, these heavenly guards —your angels— have been given charge over me. I receive Your protection! In the name of Jesus. Amen
