His Angels

Psalm 91:11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

To be protected and kept by God is liken to a mother bird who gathers her babies under her wings. The rain and wind may come, but harm is avoided and danger is minimize. God also sends His angels to earth to watch over those who love Him. The goal of angel protection is to keep us from falling away from the path God desires us to follow. He charges His angels to do battle against the demons of hell that are bent to our destruction. There is a spiritual battle be fought in the unseen world of good and evil. Many fantasy novels are written that depict the forces of good and evil being wages in a world mere humans cannot see, but such is not fantasy when it comes to angels and demons. The battle is real and angels are sent in our behalf to keep us from falling to the traps of Satan. It is God’s desire that we stay in the way of righteousness. Angels many times will protect us from physical harm, but this is not the prime purpose or charge of angels.
