The God of Angel Armies

Scripture:

Isaiah 37:36  "Then the Angel of the Lord went out and put to death a hundred and eighty five thousand in the Assyrian camp.  When the people got up in the morning - there were all the dead bodies!"

Observation:

When God wants to take care of business, He can take care of business.  As the approaching enemy army was coming, God's people began to cry out to Him.  When they cried out, He went into action by sending "The Angel of the Lord" who killed 185,000 men in a single night.  The armies of heaven are nothing to be messed with.  They are a powerful force that makes the enemy retreat.

Application:

Recently we have been singing a song that says, "The God of angel armies is right here by my side".  I receive great comfort when we sing this song because I know the power of God's armies of angels.  One angel took out 185,000 men in this story, yet God has armies of angels at His disposal and He is right here by my side.  Peace comes when we realize the God of angel armies is right here by my side.  We can know that the all-powerful God who can put His angels on assignment at any time and for any purpose, is with us and has us covered.  That is amazing, yet true!!

Prayer:

Father, open my eyes to see Your hosts of heaven and to realize they are there to minister to and for me.  Help me see how truly incredible Your are and to trust You more each day.  Thanks for the confidence today in knowing that the God of angel armies is right here by my side.

Yours,
Jeff
