Who's Watching Over You?

Acts 12:11
11Then Peter came to himself and said, "Now I know without a doubt that the Lord sent his angel and rescued me from Herod's clutches and from everything the Jewish people were anticipating."

The early church survived many persecutions from kings. Peter was to stand trial before his execution. But that night, the angel of the Lord came and walked Peter right past the guards and out of the prison. Peter honestly thought he was just seeing a vision but when he realized he was at the gate of the city, the angel was gone. Peter then came to acknowledge that the Lord sent an angel to rescue him from certain death. Do you know that God has assigned angels to each of His people? Yes, there are angels that watch over us and even fight on our behalf when we are near the enemy's snares. The Lord keeps watch over us and His assistants, the angels, tend to our needs as the Lord deems. How many times have you been in danger and when it seemed like you wouldn't get out, the Lord made a way? Like Peter, did it seem like the Lord walked you right past your enemies? The Lord and His angels always know our whereabouts. And when we are knee or even throat deep in sinking sand, He has the ability to pull us out. But remember, the angels watch over the Lord's people. Who's watching over you?
