They are with us all the time – not just when troubles come. Learn to be aware of their presence and appreciate their help.

If we hope to be equal to angels, we must learn to serve like them now. It’s too late to wait till the kingdom starts.

Christadelphian Bible marking lessons completely skip this aspect of the angels! So do most hymns.

Revelation 19:10Revelation 19:10 10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said 10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said

to me, "See that you do not do that!to me, "See that you do not do that!

Angels are sometimes surprised at what saints must experience. Imagine their wonder at what Jesus had to

go through!

Isaiah 63:9Isaiah 63:99 In all their affliction He was afflicted, and9 In all their affliction He was afflicted, and

the Angel of His Presence saved them;the Angel of His Presence saved them; in His in His love and in His pity He redeemed them; and He love and in His pity He redeemed them; and He bore them and carried them all the days of old.bore them and carried them all the days of old.

The angel working with Moses (probably Michael) expressed the same love, concern, compassion and mercy that God himself would feel. The angels are family extensions of God himself who live and feel like God.

The angels who work with us act and feel the same way!

Psalm 34:7Psalm 34:77 The angel of the LORD encamps7 The angel of the LORD encamps all around all around

those who fear Him,those who fear Him, and and delivers them.delivers them.

Note the context: David was scared and came up with a plan. Act like an insane person before Achish so he would let him live. On the surface it looked like David was just scheming his way through the problem. David did act, but in his own mind, he was fully aware of God’s angel helping him through the situation.

Always make God the center of our plans. Pray and plead for His guidance and assistance. Then be aware of His angels helping us through the events of our lives – spouses, children, jobs, accidents, medical problems.

Judges 5:23-24Judges 5:23-242323 'Curse Meroz,' said the angel of the 'Curse Meroz,' said the angel of the

LORD,LORD, 'Curse its inhabitants bitterly,'Curse its inhabitants bitterly, because because they did not come to the help of the LORD,they did not come to the help of the LORD, to the to the help of the LORD against the mighty.'help of the LORD against the mighty.'

2424 "Most blessed among women is Jael,"Most blessed among women is Jael, the the wife of Heber the Kenite; blessed is she among wife of Heber the Kenite; blessed is she among women in tents.women in tents.

We can make things difficult for our angels. Their patience can run out! They can become so disappointed in people that they curse them. Let’s make sure we don’t disappoint our angels, but give them reasons to bless us.

Acts 7:2-3Acts 7:2-32 And he said, "Brethren and fathers, listen:2 And he said, "Brethren and fathers, listen:

The God of glory The God of glory appearedappeared to our father to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia,Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before before he dwelt in Haran,he dwelt in Haran,

3 "and said to him, 'Get out of your country 3 "and said to him, 'Get out of your country and from your relatives, and come to a land that and from your relatives, and come to a land that I will show you.'I will show you.'

An angel first appeared to Abraham when he lived in Ur and began his promises to

Abraham.

Genesis 12:1-4Genesis 12:1-41 Now1 Now the LORD the LORD had saidhad said to Abram to Abram:: "Get out of "Get out of

your country, from your family and from your father's your country, from your family and from your father's house,house, to a land that I will show you.to a land that I will show you.

33 I will bless those who bless you,I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse and I will curse him who curses you; and in you all the families of the him who curses you; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed."earth shall be blessed."

4 So Abram departed4 So Abram departed as the LORD had spoken to as the LORD had spoken to him,him, and Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy-and Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.five years old when he departed from Haran.

Genesis 15:7-9Genesis 15:7-97 Then7 Then He said to him, "I am the LORD, who He said to him, "I am the LORD, who

brought you out of Urbrought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans, to give of the Chaldeans, to give you this land to inherit it."you this land to inherit it."

8 And8 And he said, "Lord GODhe said, "Lord GOD,, how shall I know how shall I know that I will inherit it?"that I will inherit it?"

9 So9 So He said to him, "Bring MeHe said to him, "Bring Me a three-year-a three-year-old heifer, a three-year-old female goat, a three-old heifer, a three-year-old female goat, a three-year-old ram, a turtledove, and a young pigeon.year-old ram, a turtledove, and a young pigeon.

The angel asked Abraham to leave Ur and promised to work through Abraham and his family – if he would believe. Angels still work the same way today. Pray for your families & appreciate the help of our angels.

Genesis 16:7-11Genesis 16:7-11 7 Now7 Now the Angel of the LORD the Angel of the LORD found herfound her by a spring of by a spring of

water in the wilderness, by the spring on the way to Shur.water in the wilderness, by the spring on the way to Shur. 8 And He said, "Hagar, Sarai's maid, where have you come 8 And He said, "Hagar, Sarai's maid, where have you come

99 The Angel of the LORD said to herThe Angel of the LORD said to her,, "Return to your "Return to your mistress, and submit yourself under her hand."mistress, and submit yourself under her hand."

10 Then10 Then the Angel of the LORD said to her, "I will multiply the Angel of the LORD said to her, "I will multiply your descendants exceedingly, so that they shall not be counted your descendants exceedingly, so that they shall not be counted for multitude."for multitude."

11 And11 And the Angel of the LORD said to her:the Angel of the LORD said to her: "Behold, you are "Behold, you are with child, and you shall bear a son. You shall call his name with child, and you shall bear a son. You shall call his name Ishmael,Ishmael, because the LORD has heard your affliction.because the LORD has heard your affliction.

Angels look for us too, when we are depressed and discouraged. They won’t leave us alone because they

want us to succeed!

Genesis 17:1-3Genesis 17:1-31 When Abram was ninety-nine years old,1 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD the LORD

appeared to Abramappeared to Abram and said to him,and said to him, "I am Almighty "I am Almighty God;God; walk before Me and be blameless.walk before Me and be blameless.

2 "And I will make My covenant between Me and 2 "And I will make My covenant between Me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly."you, and will multiply you exceedingly."

3 Then Abram fell on his face, and3 Then Abram fell on his face, and God talked with God talked with him, saying:him, saying:

22 Then He finished talking with him, and22 Then He finished talking with him, and God went God went up from Abraham.up from Abraham.

An angel appeared to personally confirm the covenant with Abraham and let him know Sarah would finally

have a son.

Genesis 18:1-2Genesis 18:1-21 Then1 Then the LORD appearedthe LORD appeared to him by the terebinth trees of to him by the terebinth trees of

Note how accommodating these angels were!

Genesis 18:12-13Genesis 18:12-1312 Therefore 12 Therefore SarahSarah laughed laughed within herselfwithin herself,, saying, "After I saying, "After I

have grown old, shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?"have grown old, shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?"13 And13 And the LORD said to Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh,the LORD said to Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh,

saying, 'Shall I surely bear a child, since I am old?‘saying, 'Shall I surely bear a child, since I am old?‘

1 Peter 3:5-61 Peter 3:5-65 For in this manner, in former times, the holy women who 5 For in this manner, in former times, the holy women who

6 as6 as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord,Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose whose daughters you are if you do good and are not afraid with any daughters you are if you do good and are not afraid with any terror.terror.

We can’t fool angels. They read our thoughts. They know our motives.

Genesis 18:17-19Genesis 18:17-191717 And the LORD said,And the LORD said, "Shall I hide from "Shall I hide from

Abraham what I am doing,Abraham what I am doing,

1818 "since Abraham shall surely become a great and "since Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?blessed in him?

1919 "For I have known him, in order that he may "For I have known him, in order that he may command his childrencommand his children and his household after him, that and his household after him, that they keep the way of the LORD, to do righteousness they keep the way of the LORD, to do righteousness and justice, that the LORD may bring to Abraham what and justice, that the LORD may bring to Abraham what He has spoken to him."He has spoken to him."

Note the discussion and decision-making of the angels, as they work together in God’s service!

Genesis 18:20-22Genesis 18:20-222020 And the LORD said, "Because the outcry against And the LORD said, "Because the outcry against

Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grave,very grave,

2121 "I will go down now and see"I will go down now and see whether they have whether they have done altogether according to the outcry against it that done altogether according to the outcry against it that has come to Me;has come to Me; and if not, I will know."and if not, I will know."

2222 Then the men (2 of the angels) turned away from Then the men (2 of the angels) turned away from there and went toward Sodom,there and went toward Sodom, but Abraham still stood but Abraham still stood before the LORD.before the LORD.

Angels are not omniscient – they need to be present to see what is

happening. That’s why they are with us all the time!

They are aware of outcries against sin!

Genesis 18:23-26Genesis 18:23-262323 And Abraham came near and said, "Would You And Abraham came near and said, "Would You

also destroy the righteous with the wicked?also destroy the righteous with the wicked?2424 "Suppose there were fifty righteous within the "Suppose there were fifty righteous within the

city; would You also destroy the place and not spare it city; would You also destroy the place and not spare it for the fifty righteous that were in it?for the fifty righteous that were in it?

2525 "Far be it from You to do such a thing as this, to "Far be it from You to do such a thing as this, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous should be as the wicked; far be it from You!should be as the wicked; far be it from You! Shall not Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?"the Judge of all the earth do right?"

2626 So the LORD said, So the LORD said, "If I find"If I find in Sodom fifty in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, righteous within the city, then I will sparethen I will spare all the place all the place for their sakes."for their sakes."

Look at the power of prayer! Angels respond to our desires to save our

family and friends!

Genesis 19:1-2Genesis 19:1-21 Now1 Now the two angels came to Sodomthe two angels came to Sodom in the evening, in the evening,

and Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom. When Lot saw and Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom. When Lot saw them, he rose to meet them, and he bowed himself with them, he rose to meet them, and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground.his face toward the ground.

2 And he said, "Here now,2 And he said, "Here now, my lordsmy lords,, please turn in to please turn in to your servant's house and spend the night, andyour servant's house and spend the night, and wash your wash your feet;feet; then you may rise early and go on your way." And then you may rise early and go on your way." And they said, "No, but we will spend the night in the open they said, "No, but we will spend the night in the open square.“square.“ (they came down to see for themselves!)(they came down to see for themselves!)

3 But he insisted strongly; 3 But he insisted strongly; so they turned in to himso they turned in to him and entered his house. Then he made them a feast, and and entered his house. Then he made them a feast, and baked unleavened bread, andbaked unleavened bread, and they ate.they ate.

Note how accommodating the angels were to Lot. They do respond to our wants and needs.

Genesis 19:15-17Genesis 19:15-1715 When the morning dawned,15 When the morning dawned, the angels urged Lot to hurry,the angels urged Lot to hurry,

saying, "Arise, take your wife and your two daughters who are saying, "Arise, take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be consumed in the punishment of the city."here, lest you be consumed in the punishment of the city."

16 And16 And while he lingered, the men took hold of his hand, his while he lingered, the men took hold of his hand, his wife's hand, and the hands of his two daughters, wife's hand, and the hands of his two daughters, the LORD the LORD being merciful to him,being merciful to him, and they brought him out and set him and they brought him out and set him outside the city.outside the city.

17 So it came to pass, when they had brought them outside, 17 So it came to pass, when they had brought them outside, that he said, "Escape for your life! Do not look behind you nor that he said, "Escape for your life! Do not look behind you nor stay anywhere in the plain. Escape to the mountains, lest you be stay anywhere in the plain. Escape to the mountains, lest you be destroyed.”destroyed.”

Angels don’t usually force us because they want us to make the good decisions. There

may be times when they force our hands out of compassion and mercy.

Remember: Lot was Remember: Lot was righteous!righteous!

22 "Hurry, escape there.22 "Hurry, escape there. For I cannot do anything until you For I cannot do anything until you arrive there."arrive there." Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.

The angel responded to Lot’s request, and had to wait for Lot to get to Zoar! Patience,

kindness & mercy. Just Like God himself!

Genesis 19:25-26Genesis 19:25-262525 SoSo He overthrew those cities,He overthrew those cities, all the plain, all the plain,

all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground.the ground.

2626 But his wife looked back behind him, and But his wife looked back behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.she became a pillar of salt.

Angels are merciful, but they are also to be feared for their justice. Imagine the disappointment of Lot’s wife’s angel when she looked back Years of patient work ended in a moment by a bad choice. Let’s commit today to appreciate all the angels do for us and try not to let them down by our choices.

Angel protected Sarah and made sure the covenant with Abraham would be

fulfilled.

Genesis 24:7Genesis 24:77 "The LORD God of heaven, who took me from my 7 "The LORD God of heaven, who took me from my

father's house and from the land of my family, and who father's house and from the land of my family, and who spoke to me and swore to me, saying, 'To your spoke to me and swore to me, saying, 'To your descendants I give this land,'descendants I give this land,' He will send His angel He will send His angel before you,before you, and you shall take a wife for my son from and you shall take a wife for my son from there.there.

Note Abraham’s awareness of the angels and his confidence that God

would work through them. We need to walk like Abraham.

Genesis 45:4-5Genesis 45:4-5 4 And Joseph said to his brothers, "Please come near to me." 4 And Joseph said to his brothers, "Please come near to me."

So they came near. Then he said: "I am Joseph your brother, So they came near. Then he said: "I am Joseph your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.whom you sold into Egypt.

When we feel the presence of the angels and confidently trust they are in control, it diffuses our anger, pain, frustration and jealousy we experience in our dealings with one another. The angels are working for our good!

Note the compassion and kindness of the angel – even though Elijah was on a mission to plead with God “against Israel” (Rom 11:1)

2 Kings 1:3, 152 Kings 1:3, 153 But3 But the angel of the LORD said to Elijahthe angel of the LORD said to Elijah the the

Tishbite, "Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the Tishbite, "Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say to them, 'Is it because there is king of Samaria, and say to them, 'Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are going to inquire of Baal-no God in Israel that you are going to inquire of Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron?'Zebub, the god of Ekron?'

The angel encouraged Elijah to meet with Ahaziah. Note how gentle and patient the angel was with Elijah. We must learn to treat each other this way to be useful ministers of God in the kingdom!
