Matthew 18.3-11 "Jesus said, "What I'm about to tell you is true. You need to change and become like little children. If you don't, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. "See that you don't look down on one of these little ones. Here is what I tell you. Their angels in heaven can go at any time to see my Father who is in heaven."
I remember some years ago reading one of Frank Peretti's books. It was a novel that dealt not only with the plane of human experience but also with the co-existence of a spiritual realm of angels doing battle around us. These realms were interrelated and connected. They did not operate independently from each other.
We would like to believe that angels who are aware and involved in our existence are around us.
Here, Christ says two revealing things: One, that we are to become like little children. Two, these children have THEIR angels in heaven.
The importance for us is that God is aware and concerned about our daily existence. He does not think of us for a moment and then move on to other issues and thoughts. He is not limited in His concentration as we are. He is all knowing and aware of us all the time.
I am convinced from scripture that I have an angel. I don't pray to that entity, but I do call in prayer to heaven for God's intervention and help. When I pray, heaven listens. That is the real lesson for each of us.
Thank God for His attention to you. Confidence and comfort that the God of this universe has you in His eye is the promise for you to hold today and tomorrow.
Stay healthy and have a blessed week!
