I Shall Meet My Guardian Angel, December 29
All Life´s Expiriences Will Be Made Plain
Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto
you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my
Father which is in heaven.
Matthew 18:10
Not until the providences of God are seen in the light of eternity shall
we understand what we owe to the care and interposition of His angels.
Celestial beings have taken an active part in the affairs of men. They
have appeared in garments that shone as the lightning; they have come
as men, in the garb of wayfarers. They have accepted the hospitalities of
human homes; they have acted as guides to benighted travelers. They
have thwarted the spoiler’s purpose, and turned aside the stroke of the
destroyer.
Though the rulers of this world know it not, yet often in their councils
angels have been spokesmen. Human eyes have looked upon them.
Human ears have listened to their appeals. In the council hall and the
court of justice heavenly messengers have pleaded the cause of the
persecuted and oppressed. They have defeated purposes and arrested
evils that would have brought wrong and suffering to God’s children....
Every redeemed one will understand the ministry of angels in his
own life. The angel who was his guardian from his earliest moment;
the angel who watched his steps, and covered his head in the day of
peril; the angel who was with him in the valley of the shadow of death;
who marked his resting place, who was the first to greet him in the
resurrection morning—what will it be to hold converse with him, and to
learn the history of divine interposition in the individual life, of heavenly
cooperation in every work for humanity!
All the perplexities of life’s experience will then be made plain.
Where to us have appeared only confusion and disappointment, broken
purposes and thwarted plans, will be seen a grand, overruling, victorious
purpose, a divine harmony.
