Entertained Angels Unawares - Hebrews 13:2


Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.  - Hebrews 13:2


I have always been fascinated by the study of angels.  I know that angels are real.  The Bible declares it.  Some years ago I read a book written by Billy Graham entitled Angels God's Secret Agents. Powerfully written, I recommend it to anyone interested in further biblically based research regarding this topic.

Angels, agents of God.  Angels often sent to us by God to encourage, to warn, to protect.  Sometimes angels appear to us as strangers.  They appear, carry out their assignment and often are gone just as quickly as they appear.  No, we do not worship angels.  Yet, we should recognize that they are a part of God's Master Plan and be careful how we receive strangers.

As a Christian I have had what I know were angelic visits during my lifetime. A stranger who appeared on a bus trip and spoke words of comfort until my destination was reached. Then suddenly they were gone.  A stranger who appeared in a resturant. His presence overshadowed what could have been a tragic event.  My mother was with me.  It was winter and very cold.  The stranger left just before us.  We were on his heels.  However, outside there was no one.  Snowflakes were falling.  Beautiful snowflakes. And somehow very quietly, fear was replaced with faith.  My mother looked at me and I said, "Ma, that was an angel."

Why the talk of angels?  Angels go where often we cannot.  Angels,  heavenly angels, do the bidding of God.  I thank God for their presence.   One songwriter put it this way: "All night, all day the angels keep watching over me, My Lord.  All night, all day.  The angels keep watching over me.

Be careful how you treat stangers. You may be entertaining angels unawares.

God bless.
in Christ,

My, My, My

  Luke 1:46b “My soul doth magnify the Lord,” My, my, my Such were my thoughts this morning as I looked out of my window at the sunrise. The Lord in His Majestic power has ordered another day. Waking up with the ability to see, to hear, and to speak. Graced with mercy to walk and talk. The Lord continues to bless and to keep. I did not wake up without aches and pains. Carefree and without challenges is not an entry on my schedule. Yet, my soul doth magnify the Lord. The Lord has given me another day to live another opportunity to serve. My, my, my.  God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

Just a Moment

  1 Corinthians 15:52   “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” A moment. Just a minute. Things happen. Situations change. Here one minute and gone the next.  So the saying goes. Moments. They mater. While we have time… Take a second. Press pause. Stop.  Consider. Right now.  This moment. Counts…⏰ God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

I’ll Go With You

  Isaiah 41:10   “Fear thou not; for I  am  with thee: be not dismayed; for I  am  thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” “Jesus said if you go I’ll go with you.” Butterflies in my stomach  A racing heart  I do not want to attend the meeting  I wish I could cancel the appointment  I don’t want to talk about it Over “it” I don’t think I can do this  BUT GOD He reminds me that of course, I cannot accomplish even the most mundane tasks on my own  He assures me day by day that He is with me  He builds me up He orders my steps  He speaks peace to my soul  He renews my heart  Do not be afraid  You belong to Me I’ve got you I am holding you in My mighty hands  Go! I will go with you. God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie
