In Genesis 32 we read of Jacob's experience with God's angels. Genesis 32:1 "And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him. 2 And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is God's host: and he called the name of that place Mahanaim." Mahanaim translated means "God's camp"! God had sent a host of angels to protect Jacob throughout his journey. The Lord so graciously allowed these Angels to visibly appear before Jacob so he would be encouraged by the assurance of God's presence and protection! From Laban to Canaan, God's protection over Jacob never ceased! That same presence and protection given to Jacob we inhabit to day. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. God's love and word never changes or fails. His word is the only sure substance given to man that is infallible. He places hosts of angels around us to protect us, comfort us, and encourage us! God's people are sent through trials, but their is never a trial greater than the comfort that comes from our Comforter! He always brings us through our trials safely, stronger and wiser. Psalm 61:7 "May he be enthroned in God's presence forever; appoint your love and faithfulness to protect him." There is nothing or no one we should ever fear, because scripture plainly reveals the truth of His word. Romans 8:28-31 "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He alos justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified. What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?" Those that come against God's chosen people shall not prosper. All we have to do is call on His name and He will come to us. He promises that you will find Him... if you seek after Him with your whole heart (Jer. 29:11-13).
Remember He hears our faintest cries, and answers the prayers of the righteous! God has authority, power and dominion over our circumstance! God's grace, mercy, love and goodness is limitless!
