Our God is compassionate and His mercy is beyond human comprehension. He’s greater than angels, for He made all things, including the angels. Since we’re born in the likeness of Jesus with the authority of His Name given to us, angels are mandated to minister to our needs.
In the eighteenth chapter of the book of Genesis, the Lord with two of His angels came as men to visit Abraham, who recognized who they were. While Abraham entertained his guests, his wife Sarah was inside, quietly eavesdropping on their conversation. When the Lord said she was going to give birth to a son, she laughed because she couldn’t believe it. Then God spoke up and said, “...Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old? Is anything too hard for the Lord? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son” (Genesis 18:13-14).
I love God! He didn’t reprimand her; He wasn’t angry with her even when she denied laughing. He didn’t do what angel Gabriel did to Zechariah in Luke 1:5-20. The angel told him that his wife would have a son but Zechariah didn’t believe. Gabriel couldn’t take that, so he said, “…thou shalt be dumb and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words…” (Luke 1:20). But think about our Father God, He didn’t act like that! I hear some people say, “Angel Michael pray for us; Angel Gabriel pray for us…” Such prayers have no spiritual significance and make no impact at all. Thank God for angels! Don’t ever forget the One who sent the angels, He is greater than all. Moreover, He has given His “...angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone” (Psalm 91:11-12).
