Angels

"The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them." Psalm 34:6

Angels are God's mighty servants. The world has created a wimpy image for angels. Many forms of art depict angels as fat babies with wings flying around. The description the Bible gives is anything but that.

Look at this description in the book of Isaiah:

"I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke." Isaiah 6: 1-4

I don't know about you, but this passage paints the picture of a mighty and strong warrior.

The verse from Psalms that mentions angels protecting those that fear God is very comforting for Christians. When we serve and reverently fear God, He sends his angels to surround us. This does not mean that our lives become perfect because we have an angelic buffer. We live in a fallen world, but the angels will protect us as God instructs.
