And
she saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head and the other at
the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
John
20:11-18
Our daughter [was] studying in France [at the time this was written].
At the last moment before she left home, she was informed that her
travel plans were changed, and her plane would land at a different
airport. Previous arrangements were now useless. When she arrived she
would know nobody. Now she would have to get to her host family from
the airport on her own. We were particularly concerned about these
first few hours in a strange country in which she spoke the language
only tentatively. Who would help her? How could we insure her safety?
As over-anxious parents we felt so helpless. So we prayed fervently
for her providential care.
And then, when she got off the plane in Paris, an unknown woman
approached her and offered assistance. Sensing our daughter's need,
she watched that our daughter followed her verbal directions
accurately. When she went the wrong way, this woman even ran after
her and reset her course a second time.
This lady was as an angel to our daughter. She was an answer to
prayer, and we thanked God for her presence.
Where have you had angels in your life? How has God met your needs at
unexpected times? Have you thanked God for these special signs of
love and care?
Most loving
God, thank you for ministering to us through angels that you place in
our lives during our hours of need. I thank you for the life of your
Son and am eternally appreciative of the redemption of our sins that
was brought about through His death and resurrection. Please let me
live my life in gratitude for His love for me. In Jesus' name. Amen.
