Angels to Guard Us

For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. Psalm 91:11

Oh, that we could all realize the nearness of heaven to earth! When the earthborn children know it not, they have the angels of light as their companions for the heavenly messengers are sent forth to minister to those who shall be heirs of salvation. A silent witness guards every soul that lives, seeking to win and draw him to Christ.

The angels never leave the tempted one a prey to the enemy, who would destroy the souls of men if permitted to do so. As long as there is hope, until they resist the Holy Spirit to their eternal ruin, men are guarded by heavenly intelligence.

Oh, that all could behold our precious Saviour as He is, a Saviour. Let His hand draw aside the veil which conceals His glory from our eyes. It shows Him in His high holy place. What do we see? Our Saviour, not in a position of silence and inactivity. He is surrounded with heavenly intelligences, cherubim, and seraphim, ten thousand time ten thousand of angels. All these heavenly beings have one object above all others, in which they are intensely interested - His church (note: ones that follow His truth, not a structure) in a world of corruption... They are working for Christ under His commission to save to the uttermost all who look to Him and believe in Him. OHC
