WE ARE BEING WATCHED

   

Ps 91:10-11

10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

 

          There is much in the news these days about the privacy of our lives and the possibility of being observed by our electronic devices. When we stare at our television sets, we fear someone on the other side may be staring at us. Some have placed tape over the camera lens of their computers to avoid being watched. But there are other watchers that are not so easily thwarted.

 

          Jacob was on the run because he was a scoundrel and had stolen both blessing and birthright from his older brother. He paused to rest and slept an uneasy sleep. In his dream he “saw” a huge staircase with angels climbing and descending upon it. He was being watched!

 

          Regarding angels, the Bible offers few details to gratify our curiosity. The word angel means messenger and that seems to be their primary function. When assigned the task of soldier, they are terrible! Elijah was fed and comforted by an angel. Mary, Joseph, and a host of others were visited by angels. We are being watched!

 

          Some have testified that they may have been aided by angels because of mysterious beings appearing during times of distress or trouble. If we are being watched, our watchers are very careful to guard their identity. It is both troubling and comforting to know that God has his eye on us!

 

Heb 13:2

2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

 

Dear Lord, let your watchers find me faithful. AMEN
