“For
my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither
are your ways my ways,”
declares
the Lord. (Isaiah 55:8 NIV)
Glory
to God in the highest. Christ's birth is announced by heavenly
angels. Angels in Shakespeare's plays also appear, but they may well
have two legs and walk pendently upon the ground. It is my firm
belief that angels are on earth and help realize the mysterious
operations of God Almighty—operations forever outside the
understanding of men. We are to trust in God (in God we trust) and
not worry about figuring out the extent or subliminal means of divine
operations. In fact to try to figure them out in over-analysis will
indubitably indicate a lack of faith and trust in God—as if man
were in control of operations rather than God. Jesus said: “Do you
think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my
disposal more than twelve legions of angels?” (Matthew 26:53 NIV).
I believe quite literally this was (is) the case but as to the
precise nature of these heavenly forces I entirely lack understanding
nor wish to speculate about it. I only know that it is true.
