Bible Question:
I am sorry if I seem to be stuck on the same thing, one more. Guardian Angles are they real, what scriptures talk about them? |
Bible Answer: Hebrews 1:14 describes angels - "Are they not all ministering spirits, sent out to render service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?" These angelic hosts that do God's bidding are powerful beings but they will never experience the love relationship He desires to have and extends to us! Questioning if your recent experience was the result of angelic intervention is really not the issue. God is soverign, He is absolutely in control. Why and how God choses to "rescue us" is for Him to know and for us to be eternally grateful for! We must be cautious to worship the DELIVERER and not worship the means of our deliverance! I have learned that the more I know about God, the less I really know - for His ways are not mine and He does exceedingly more than I can ever even imagine. God does not need our permission to operate outside the scope of human understanding! Nor is He limited by what we believe about Him! Frankly, I think that God loves to surprise us with more of Himself and the only way He can get the attention of some is to be extremely overt! From what I have read of your posts, God has miraculously protected and preserved you. Thank Him and ask Him what His purpose is for your life! Don't get stuck on the "why me?" It really isn't about you! What you have experienced is all about God and His plan; I'm glad that He chose YOU to be part of it! Blessings, Mommapbs |
