Do you believe in angels? What do you believe about them? Have you wondered what an angel in heaven does? Have you wondered if they have different purposes? Do you believe they worship God? How do you think they worship him?
We may talk about having a guardian angel. We may say it was our guardian angel who kept us from some catastrophe. We like the thought of someone watching over us. But is the idea of a guardian angel correct? Perhaps we are actually experiencing the Holy Spirit being with us.
We see only a few instances in Scripture where angels interact with people. We see it in the book of Daniel. Perhaps the most famous are the interactions Gabriel has with Zechariah and Mary, prophesying the births of John the Baptist and Jesus. We also see an angel come to Joseph to tell him to stay with Mary. But notice those instances are temporary and the angels are carrying messages to people.
The Psalmist provides some insight to what angels do in heaven. They give God the glory, recognizing his glory and strength. They glorify his name and worship him in holy splendor. Can you imagine? Their worship of God is more glorious than anything we have ever experienced.
We can look forward to being part of the angel’s glorious worship. When our time on this earth is done, we will join in their worship of God. We will experience the awesome worship in heaven. We will be filled with such joy that we may think we will explode. We will be in the holy presence of God.
I pray we all look forward to worshiping God with the angels. I pray we worship him in truth and spirit today. I pray each one of us give God the glory he deserves and recognize his awesome power. Worship God in truth. Worship God is spirit. Give God the glory. Know God is awesome.
Psalm 29:1-2
Ascribe to the Lord, O heavenly beings,
ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
Ascribe to the Lord the glory of his name;
worship the Lord in holy splendor.
