God lives and works today.
His throne is surrounded by countless angels who
bring Him their praise and adoration.
At the same time, these angels of God
stand by, ready to carry out the Lord's
commands.
Do we know anything at all about the
ministry of the angels, about their commission and
relationship to our lives?
Listen to the following meditation by Basilia Schlink
called, The Power of the Angels.
What is the source of the power and
greatness of God's angels?
They are completely at one with the will
of God.
According to Psalm 103, verses 20 and 21,
they are mighty ones who do His word,
hearkening to the voice of His word.
Whoever has committed himself to the will of
God is united with Him who is almighty,
all-powerful, full of glory and strength.
No one can stand against the Lord, and
all are subject to His commands.
God's holy angels have united their wills completely
with God's.
This is the secret of their power.
They don't rebel against God, like we people
always do when we don't understand the actions
of God.
But how could we expect to comprehend the
great, wise and almighty God with our small
and limited minds?
In the hearts of the angels, there is
no resistance to the Father's will, no questioning
why about God's ways and dealings.
The angels can surrender their wills completely because
they possess the greatness of humility.
Their proclamation is, Who is like God?
Their entire beings are directed towards Him, to
bring God honor and worship, and they don't
seek power for themselves.
There is no God like Thee, no one,
no man with Thee compares.
There is no God like Thee, there is
no God, no God like Thee, neither above
in heaven nor below here on earth.
No one like Thee, Lord, no one like
Thee.
Who is like God?
No one like Thee, no one, no man
with Thee compares.
God is for His angels and not against
them.
This means that He can grant to them
His infinite strength.
Yes, He can give them all the power,
strength and fire that's in His heart, because
they set up no barriers to Him through
their self-will or pride.
The existence and nature of the angels should
be a continual inspiration to us, that we
might strive to live in humble, total submission
to the will of God.
Then we too will be granted great power
and strength.
I'll sing of God's care and guiding, the
way of His own providing, the path through
the night with blessings upright.
