Angels
On the day the
barrier split between heaven and earth, you angels sang your customary praises,
although this day was different – a shake-up of the known world was
forthcoming.
Did you think of
that long ago day of Satan’s fall, when you’d made the choice to remain
faithful to God? No self-seeking glory lust for you.
Angels, you knew
the delight of being in the constant company of the Godhead – Father, Son and
Holy Spirit and nothing less would suffice.
But foolish humans
rejected the Divine Presence and the perfection of Eden was lost.
God sent an
angel to the Garden of Eden to forever block human re-entrance. Angels were you
sad for mankind?
But then all
heaven broke loose.
Angel Gabriel,
you announced forerunner John the Baptist’s birth to Zechariah, John’s father. And
soon visited Mary, the holy woman among women, chosen to be the human
God-carrier for nine months.
You shocked the
shepherds, angels, with your song on that wondrous night when humankind’s
restoration began. On the God-baby’s birth day you poured forth the music of
heaven with joyous abandon flooded in heavenly light.
Again mankind
would be equipped to celebrate life in eternal glory!
What comfort and
delight to know ministering angels work among us still.
