No Other Rock

There is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth. ~ Luke 15:10

The world we live in has watered down the concept of angels. We see stores that sell novelty angel figurines, plush dolls and home décor. We watch movies that make assumptions about angels who are supposedly sent form Heaven to walk among us as they do their work. In reading various books and watching those many TV shows and movies, we’ve been led to believe that there are situations in which angels are assigned people to watch over, are among us as misfits, are kicked out of heaven, are able to emotionally connect with earthly beings who have not yet gone home . . . we’ve seen so many of these scenarios, it’s no wonder they’ve become almost novelty.

But as the above passage tells use, angles do exist. What’s more, we know that they do watch over us and are able to possess concern for our well-being. What’s more, we see that they take joy in our success (and probably distress in our failures).

Today, my prayer for you and I is that we will give the angels who watch over us a reason to celebrate.
