I am sending an angel before you, to guard you on the way and bring you to the place I have prepared. we read in Ex 23:20-21. And in psalm 34: 8 we read The angel of the Lord is encamped around those who revere God, to rescue them.
Who doesn't want to be guarded by the angels? Basil the Great (+378) says that each one of us has been given an angel to protect, guard and guide us. Bernard of Clairvaux (+1153) insists that the presence of Angels proves that heaven denies us nothing that will assist us.
I have heard countless stories of events and incidents where the person was protected in such a marvelous way it was not hard to attribute the protection to a spiritual being. And I have had my own experiences as well, times when I was so protected from harm I can only think that there was an angel at my side. What a marvelous thing, to believe that you have an angel at your side, watching and protecting!
Psalm 91:10-11 reminds us of God's care: No evil shall befall you, no affliction come near your tent. For God commands the angels to guard you in all your ways.
Happy Tuesday. Happy Feast of Guardian Angels!
