Psalm 23:6
This verse is one from Psalm 23
that many people know, but I am going to take it in a different way for this
meditation.
One of my favorite authors, Debbie
MacComber, has written a series of books about angels named Shirley, Goodness,
and Mercy, who visit humans to help with prayer requests from Earth. The angels love to visit Earth, but sometimes
make missteps because they are not accustomed to human behavior. They move
buildings and huge ships, keep people from doing the wrong thing, or make
people meet “by accident.”
I love that the angels want to
help people with their prayer requests so much that often they throw caution to
the wind in the interest of helping someone.
Sometimes St. Peter gets frustrated with them and recalls them to heaven
to scold them; however, in the books in this series I always find much joy in
their antics.
I believe in angels because I have
felt their presence at many times in my life and I know they are God’s way of
giving us reassurance during our darkest times.
Angels often dwell among us in the form of a friend or sometimes as a
stranger.
Those people who have found a thin
space in which they are able to connect our world to God’s heavenly kingdom are
rare and worthy to be treasured. Blessed be all God’s angels and let me be an
angel to someone on his or her journey. Amen.
