Unseen Protection from God

Unseen Protection from God

There have been many times on this blog when we have talked about how our Christian walk is more spiritual than physical.  The Bible verse below explains it perfectly:  

One area that we have not really focused on is the unseen protection that our Heavenly Father provides for His children (that's us!).  I am talking about angels.

This unseen realm that is around us every second of every day would be terrifying if it were not for the safety that we find in Jesus Christ our Savior.

The verse below is just wonderful!  Firstly, let's define the word "encamp."

Encampment - temporary dwelling for the purpose of organization for battle.

I picture a circle of angels surrounding each one of us, making it impossible for any evil to reach us in the center of that protection.  That circle would be impenetrable.

It is very important to note that in the verse above it says "those who fear Him".  Therefore, there will be no protection for the unbeliever, or for the one who goes against God and does evil.

Children have extra special protection.  Checkout what Jesus said in this Scripture passage below:

Remember the serious consequence if someone does harm any child:

"It would be better for them to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around their neck than to cause one of these little ones to stumble."

Luke 17:2

Then, all throughout the Bible we see how God protected and guided His people by sending angels ahead of their travels, or by whisperings, or through dreams and visions.

(see examples below)

Let's talk about the angelic celebration that occurs when just one person repents and follows Jesus.  I imagine it being a heaven-wide jubilation!  

Lastly, it is vital that we do NOT worship angels in any way.  Only God is to be worshiped.  See what John was told in the book of Revelation: 

It does not matter if you never have a personal encounter with one of God's angels - just know that our Heavenly Father is always providing unseen protection to His children.

Free Amaryllis from Kroger

In January our local grocery store was giving away free amaryllis bulbs.  There were only a few left and they did not look very promising (I almost didn't take one) but boy am I glad that I brought one home.  Just look at this beauty!   

Behind the flowers you will notice our "Tower Garden" (click HERE to visit their website), which is a hydroponic growing system where we grow our lettuce inside year round.

Then there were two open flowers

Three open blossoms

The fourth blossom opened (there was a little fifth bud at the top that did not open until the others had shriveled and fallen off)

ENJOY!
