Thank God for His mighty angels, spoken of in many scriptures…
Daniel in the lion’s den, Jesus in Gethsemane…include angelic pictures.

Though most of us haven’t seen them visibly today with our own eyes,
in being hospitable to guests we may have–so doing that is wise.

But there are those who’ve seen them and have said they look very strong.
In the Bible they also brought messages, to tell of pathways right or wrong.

We’ve all experienced or heard of times we’ve benefitted from their protection.
They respond to us using God’s Word–they trust its perfect direction.

It’s good for us to remember that they work all around the earth…
yet we can count on them right where we are…these servants of great worth.

I can think of many instances of angelic protection, but here is just one…  

When driving on a turnpike with my family, we noticed a driver coming in on the entrance ramp extremely fast–so fast that we called on the name of Jesus and the angels for protection for us all. The driver of that vehicle actually rammed into one of the large, tall lamp posts that were along that highway.  We checked on him later, and though his vehicle was damaged, he, miraculously, was all right.  When the lamp fell, it fell very slowly, almost as if angels were guiding it down, (we believe they were) causing it to completely miss our car. Praise God!
