My Guardian Angel, October 25
Angel Guidance in My Life
For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy
ways.
Psalm 91:11
A guardian angel is appointed to every follower of Christ. These
heavenly watchers shield the righteous from the power of the wicked
one. This Satan himself recognized when he said, “Doth Job fear God
for nought? Hast not Thou made a hedge about him, and about his house,
and about all that he hath on every side?” The agency by which God
protects His people is presented in the words of the psalmist, “The angel
of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear Him, and delivereth
them.”
I have seen the tender love that God has for His people, and it is
very great. I saw angels over the saints with their wings spread about
them. Each saint had an attending angel. If the saints wept through
discouragement, or were in danger, the angels that ever attended them
would fly quickly upward to carry the tidings, and the angels in the city
would cease to sing.... They would bear the tidings upward, and all the
angels in the city would weep, and then with a loud voice say, “Amen.”
But if the saints fixed their eyes upon the prize before them, and glorified
God by praising Him, then the angels would bear the glad tidings to the
city, and the angels in the city would touch their golden harps and sing
with a loud voice, “Alleluia!” and the heavenly arches would ring with
their lovely songs.
His angels are appointed to watch over us, and if we put ourselves
under their guardianship, then in every time of danger they will be at our
right hand. When unconsciously we are in danger of exerting a wrong
influence, the angels will be by our side, prompting us to a better course,
choosing words for us, and influencing our actions. Thus our influence
may be a silent, unconscious, but mighty power in drawing others to
Christ and the heavenly world.
