Acts 12:1-11
7Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared and a light shone in the cell. He tapped Peter on the side and woke him, saying, “Get up quickly.” And the chains fell off his wrists. 8The angel said to him, “Fasten your belt and put on your sandals.” He did so. Then he said to him, “Wrap your cloak around you and follow me.”
I wish an angel of the Lord would appear suddenly before me and tell me what to do. Yesterday's extended reading from Genesis also featured the assurance of an angel of the Lord to smooth the way for Abraham's servant. Angels of the Lord sure seem to make things easier for these folks, and appear at just the right time.
Before you get discouraged that the Lord has left you off the "In Need of an Angel Visit" list, I invite you today to think of the angels all around you. Maybe they aren't adorned in white with wings and cherubic faces. Perhaps they don't arrive with a light shining around them. Most likely they're wearing everyday clothing and have names like Joe or Linda or Jack or Betty.
Peace,
Pastor Jenn
