In Our Service

DEVOTION HEBREWS IN OUR SERVICE Heb 1:13-14 13 To which of the angels did God ever say, "Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet"? 14 Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation? NIV Of course we know that not a single angel was ever invited to sit at the right hand of the Father. We also know without a doubt that God would not give the angels that kind of authority that He gave Jesus. But on the other hand we can also see here that we have ministering spirits all around us, ready willing and able to serve us, because they were sent by God to do that very thing. How many of us avail ourselves of their service? If we are those who will inherit salvation then we also have angels here to serve us. What kind of service are they ready to serve with? What are they capable of doing? How much authority has God given to them in acting on their own? Do they only act, or serve at the individual command of God regarding one of our requests? Or are they just here ready to do whatever is needed in our service? To just think that God is always present, always watching, always aware of each moment of our lives; after all he knows each hair on our head, and he has his angels hanging around just watching to serve us in the moment of our need. Perhaps we are unaware as to the many times an angel intervened in a situation, causing a car to change direction in order to save us from an accident, or keeping us from doing something which would cause harm to ourselves or others. Perhaps they have kept us from stumbling. We may never see them, then again at times; we might see them, but not knowing they are angels until after they are gone. Yet the fact still remains, they do not sit at the right hand of the Father in Heaven because Jesus does, they are here on the earth being of service to us. Yes the Spirit is here, but He convicted us of our need to repent and accept Jesus, He guides or leads us into all truth, He does not serve us, He leads us, but the angels they are serving us, they are in our service.
