*Psalm 34:7

Devo Fuel: {Gods Secret Agents}

"The angel of the Lord encamps all around those who fear Him, and delivers them" (Psalm 34:7).

A secret agent is one who seeks to protect his country, his king, or his president against evil forces that are opposed to the one he serves ... God has His own secret agents ~ the angels. Unseen and unrecognized by the world, they never fail in their appointed tasks.

We don't know how many times angels have been working behind the scenes, how many times they have delivered us, have helped us out of tight situations, or have intervened on our behalf. Angels are all around us, taking care of us and ministering to us, even when we are not aware of their presence. This certainly gives hope in these troubled, dangerous times in which we are living. When we think of all of the violence and chaos and danger in the world today, it is comforting to know that God's angels are watching out for us. They may not help you find a parking space or make your casseroles more flavorful, but you can be certain that angels are God's secret agents, powerfully and effectively doing the work He has called them to do.

Much has been written recently about angels ~ often not based on the Bible but on popular legends ... Only in eternity will we know how many accidents they prevented, or how often they kept Satan's malicious spirits at bay. In the meantime, we can take comfort in their presence, and thank God for the love He expresses for us through their service.
