"Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree..." Tonight after church we decided to get out the tree and put it up. After getting it all set up, Madi placed the angel on top of the tree! I can honestly say, aside from our ceiling fans and lights, the angel is head and shoulders above everything else in the house. If it could see, it could see it all. Confused??? It makes me think of Psalm 91:11...
"He has put His angels in
charge of you to watch over you
wherever you go." - Psalm 91:11 (ncv)
I know it's just a figurine with a plastic cone body, but it still makes me think of the angels that God assigns to us to keep watch over us. OK, you're gonna think I am weird but early in my teen years I remember being in my room, reading this verse. Maybe it was the fact that it was well after midnight? Maybe it was the week old leftover pizza I finished off? But here it is, I could envision angels that were assigned to me, in my room, keeping watch over me.
I don't think it's that far fetched. I really believe that God assigns His angels to watch over us! Haven't you ever said, "Wow, God was really watching over us wasn't He?" Have you ever missed an accident? I remember one time as a kid, a "Sam's Club" sized jar of jumbo pickles just missed my head as it fell off the top shelf. Coincidence? I don't think so. Just this week, at Grandma's a 15 inch ceramic rooster fell from a plant shelf in my mom's kitchen and shattered. Madi and Lily were running around close by and could have easily been in harms way. Coincidence? I don't think so. I can't help but think many times in my life, God's assigned angel has been actively watching over me. They watch over you too! In what ways has God's angels been watching over you? Have a story? Leave it in a comment so we can all see how Psalm 91:11 has come true in your life.
