The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them.
— Psalm 34:7

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

I don't see him, but I know he's there! God has promised never to leave us or forsake us (Hebrews 13:5-6). He knows us inside and out (Psalm 139:1-23). Yet not only is God present with us, the angel of the Lord who destroyed many enemies of God’s people in ancient times (Exodus 20:16; Judges 6:11-12) is now fighting to win the spiritual battles raging around you and me (Matthew 18:10). God’s angels are servants sent to bless us overcome the evil one and empower us through our struggles (Hebrews 1:13-14). Through their help, our Lord will bring us his deliverance! And specifically, ” The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them.”

My Prayer...

Give me faith, dear Father, to believe that your heavenly messengers are around me to deliver me to you with glory and great joy. Thank you, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
