INTRODUCTION
I believe that God interacts with His people on a daily basis. He desires to do that. Sure, we should see Him when we open our eyes, or dress ourselves, when we arrive at our destinations safely, and greet our family & friends. Yes, these are miracles we take for granted and we SHOULD give thanks to God for them. However, if at the end of the day, we cannot pinpoint a certain moment where there was a Yeshua-experience just for us, we have missed Him. I am going to start a series in which I detail those Yeshua Moments in my life and I hope you do the same. Let’s practice His presence. Let’s consciously choose to see Him in everything, everywhere! Here’s the point–”The more we focus on what He IS doing, the more of that He will do in our lives. If we focus on what He is NOT doing, He will NOT do anything–and it is not that He is Not doing anything, but that is all that you will see.” So let’s practice the presence of our God for the next 30 days and record them so that our spirits can be alive in Him. Let’s help to build one another’s faith and awaken our spiritual pores to the living Presence of our Abba. Come on! Let’s walk with the Father!
DAY #19 — “Angels: A Window to His Greatness”
During this season, radio teachers and pastors teach on the birth of Messiah. Of course no advent message is complete without mentioning the angels. As this particular pastor began to speak about the angels that spoke to Mary (Miriam) and the shepherds, I drifted into my own stream of consciousness. (Here is the stream — don’t get lost; follow me, now.) I thought of the play that I am currently writing entitled From the Lips of Angels. I thought about how I would love to have a scene where Gabriel and Michael talk about Adonai in “angel-ese.” Boy, that would take divine revelation!!!
We see angels through our eyes, so we seldom see God from their eyes. (You’re following, right? Okay.) Why is it that we think that angels admire our position? (I told you this was a stream! C’mon — follow me!) We get so excited when we say that we can sing a song that angels cannot sing — the song of the redeemed! Do we really know what that means — “the song of the redeemed”? It is a song of one who fell from grace, from a personal relationship with the Father and was bought back by Him to regain that relationship! But these angels who minister before Him night and day (as if there were such things as “night” and “day” in heaven) NEVER fell! They NEVER strayed from His grace! They NEVER left Him! They were given that choice, but NEVER chose to leave Him or rebel. What I am saying has nothing to do with praising angels . . . because here was the fodder for my play . . .
Gabriel: Imagine, those humans have tried to worship us.
Michael: That is because they really know little about our Sovereign’s amazingness!
That was just a little taste of what the play is about. But here’s the point — In eternity, we will get an angel’s perspective of the Infinite One but we will do it from the position of redeemed man. Now, there’s a thought — Fallen angels will never be redeemed! Fallen man can now — because of the graciousness of the Son of God — see what angels saw and know the depth of the depravity of one who falls away from Quintessential Love! Amazing!
Abba, I believe your word with all my heart that my eyes have not seen, that my ears have not heard, and it has not even entered my mind the things that you have prepared for me! I cannot even imagine it! Wow! Thank you for the angels, the ones who did not fall, who value You and protect us! One day we will stand around Your throne and worship You . . . with them! The Redeemed and the Stalwart worshipping You together . . . with the same song! Amazing! Amen!
Application: Somehow allow the greatness of the angels to reveal to you the ultimate, infinite, and absolute greatness of our Amazing God! What do you see?
