Angels of God

Scripture:

Genesis 32:1 "So Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him".

Observation:

Jacob has left Laban after 20 years of service in which God multiplied Jacob's possessions incredibly. Laban has just come after him because he was leaving with Laban's daughters and grandchildren. Jacob had just come through that encounter and was ready to face seeing his brother whom he had cheated and whom he had fled from 20 years before for his life. In the middle of the two confrontations, "the angels of God met him". This apparently gave him the strength to continue and face his brother once again.

Application:

I love how simply it states "and the angels of God met him". Like it was a simple everyday thing. It seems to me that in the Bible it was very normal to see angels and received messages from them. I want to meet some angels! I read about them in the Bible continually. I have had a few encounters that I know were angels, but I want to walk with God closer and see more in the spirit realm what is going on. I want God to open my spiritual eyes because I believe we entertain angels unaware.

Prayer:

Lord, open my spiritual eyes. I want to see into the spirit world with more clarity. I would love to be traveling and have a meeting with "the angels of God". I know that your angels are working overtime to keep me safe, but it helps when we see these things. I know I am blessed because of believing and not seeing, but seeing really helps. Let me see into the spirit realm more than ever before.

Love You,
Jeff
