双语灵修（葛培理牧师）：2月28日 神的使者

2月28日

神的使者

“因他要为你吩咐他的使者，在你行的一切道路上保护你。”

诗篇91:11

一辆英国特快列车在黑夜中风驰电掣般行驶着，车头灯的强光划破黑暗。维多利亚女王正在车上。这时候，火车司机突然看到一个惊人的景象。借着火车头的灯光，他仿佛看到一个戴着黑斗篷的人站在铁轨中央，挥舞着手臂。司机赶紧拉动紧急刹车，让火车停下。

他和火车上的工作人员爬下去看看是怎么回事。但是，他们却并没有看到那个奇怪的人。司机凭着直觉又往前走了几步。突然间他停住了，惊恐地盯着前方的雾色。有一座桥中间被冲垮，就在他们前方倒塌在暴涨的溪流中。如果司机没有注意到那个鬼影般的黑衣人，他的火车就会翻到溪流中。

工作人员在修理桥梁和铁轨的时候，他们又进一步地去搜索那个奇怪的旗手的踪迹。但是直到他们到了伦敦才揭开这个谜团。原来在火车头大灯底座上有一只巨大的飞蛾。司机看了它一会儿，然后一时兴起，用水湿了它的翅膀，把它贴到玻璃灯罩上。司机回到驾驶室，再次打开车灯，就看到了光中的那个“旗手”，它就是在火车差点开上那个被冲毁的桥梁前几秒时在迷雾中挥动手臂的那个幻影。

当维多利亚女王得知这件奇事后说：“我肯定这不是一件偶然的事情。这是神在保护我们。”

对，司机在车头灯光里看到的那个影子，当然不是天使。但神很可能通过看不见的天使在特定的时间和地点，把这只飞蛾准确地放在车头灯的玻璃上。

的确，神要吩咐他的使者，在你行的一切道路上保护你！

今日祷告：

天父，我们何等感谢你看顾我们，并且派天使保护我们。谢谢你！奉主耶稣的名祷告，阿们。

ANGEL AT WORK?

For He will give His angels[especial]change over you,to accompany and defend and preserve you in all your way[of obedience and service].Psalm 91:11 AB

The British express train raced through the night,its powerful headlight piercing the darkness.Queen Victoria was a passenger on the train.

Suddenly the engineer saw a startling sight.Revealed in the beam of the engine’s light was a strange figure in a black cloak standing in the middle of the tracks and waving its arms.The engineer grabbed for the brake and brought the train to a grinding halt.

He and his fellow trainmen clambered down to see what had stopped them.But they could find no trace of the strange figure.On a hunch the engineer walked a few yards further up the tracks.Suddenly he stopped and stared into the fog in horror.A bridge had been washed out in the middle and ahead of them it had toppled into a swollen stream.If the engineer had not heeded the ghostly figure,his train would have plummeted down into the stream.

While the bridge and the tracks were being repaired,the crew made a more intensive search for the strange flagman.But not until they got to London did they solve the mystery.

At the base of the engine’s head lamp the engineer discovered a huge dead moth.He looked at it a moment,then on impulse wet its wings and pasted it to the glass of the lamp.

Climbing back into his cab,he switched on the light and saw the“flagman”in the beam,seconds before the train was due to reach the washed-out bridge.In the fog,it appeared to be a phantom figure,waving its arms.

When Queen Victoria was told of the strange happening she said,“I’m sure it was no accident.It was God’s way of protecting us.”

No,the figure the engineer saw in the headlight’s beam was not an angel…and yet God,quite possible through the ministry of His unseen angels,had placed the moth on the headlight lens exactly when and where it was needed.Truly“He will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways”(Psalm 91:11 NIV)

Pray for the Day:

Father,we thank You so much that You care for us,that You look out for us,and that You have appointed angels to protect us.We thank You,in Jesus’Name,Amen.
