天使保护

“上帝的车辇累万盈千；主在其中，好像在西奈圣山一样。”

诗篇68:17

我经常注意到世界上很多地方都有天使出现的报道，他们显现、救助、与人交通，然后又消失了。他们警告人们上帝要来审判，他们述说上帝的温柔慈爱，他们为某种急需提供援助，然后他们就不见了。有一件事可以肯定，天使从不把注意力引向他们自己，而是将荣耀归给上帝。天使只是传达上帝的旨意，执行上帝的任务。

这个世界越来越多的人在崇拜魔鬼撒旦。撒旦很活跃，而且是前所未有地忙碌。圣经说，撒旦知道自己时间不多了，所以他的活动越来越猖獗。因着魔鬼的力量，的确有很多人远离真道。

但是，我们仍然可以说，上帝的使者，祂服役的灵，也在对魔鬼进行反击。他们正在猛力地把神的子民从恶人那里解救出来。他们绝不会失败。

弟兄姊妹，鼓起勇气，抬头仰望。天使就在你的身边。因为无论如何，上帝“要为你吩咐他的使者，在你行的一切道路上保护你。他们要用手托着你，免得你的脚碰在石头上。”

诗篇91:11-12

今日祷告：

天父，我们身边有无数的天使围绕着，我们就无所畏惧。求你赐给我们信心倚靠你而不必忧虑。奉耶稣的名，阿门。

ANGELIC ACTIVITY

The chariots of God are twenty thousand,even thousands of angels:the Lord is among them,as in Sinai,in the holy place.Psalm 68:17

Reports continually flow to my attention from many places around the world telling of visitors of the angelic order appearing,ministering,fellowshipping and disappearing.They warn of God’s impending judgement;they spell out the tenderness of His love;they meet a desperate need;then they are gone.Of one thing we can be sure:angels never draw attention to themselves but ascribe glory to God and press His message upon the hearers as a delivering and sustaining word or the highest order.

Demonic activity and Satan worship are on the increase in all parts of the world.The devil is alive and more at work than at any other time.The Bible says that since he realizes his time is short,his activity will increase.Through his demonic influences he does succeed in turning many away from true faith;but we can still say that his evil activities are countered for the people of God by His ministering spirits,the holy ones of the angelic order.They are vigorous in delivering the heirs of salvation from the stratagems of evil men.They cannot fail.

Believers,look up-take courage.The angels are nearer than you think.For after all,God has given“his angels charge of you,to guard you in all your ways.On their hands they will bear you up,lest you dash your foot against a stone”(Psalm 91:11-12 RSV)

Pray for the Day:

Father,with countless angels surrounding us and on our side,we can have no fear.Give us faith to trust You and not to worry;in Jesus’Name,Amen.
