Angels Played A Part

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.
