Moment of Meditation: Guardian Angels (Psalm 91:11-12)

For He will command His angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways.
On their hands they will bear you up,
Lest you strike your foor against a stone."
(Psalm 91:11-12)

Pop culture enjoys the idea of guardian angels. There have been many television shows that have focused on these angels. All coming from this morning's psalm.

Satan even used this idea as he tempted Jesus. He took Jesus up to the pinnacle of the Temple in Jerusalem and said, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down" (Matthew 4:5-6). He quoted our verses this morning as encouragement.

Just as Satan tempted Jesus, many people do what they want and hope their guardian angel is there to catch them.

Guardian angels are not to be thought of as at your beck and call. They are God's gift to you to protect you from the attacks of the devil. Treat them as such. They are not to be taken for granted even as we should not take our salvation by faith through Christ for granted. Amen.
