Angels Are Not Called To Rule But To Serve

 Nowhere in the Bible are any of the angels given the privilege of sitting on the throne of God, for God Himself decreed: "I will not give My glory to another." And yet today, our Kinsman-Redeemer is seated on the right hand of the Majesty on high, and God has promised to make the enemies of Christ His footstool.
 However, today there is an increasingly unhealthy obsession with angels, not only in the secular world and the New Age religion but also in many Christian denominations and religions sects, which elevate the status of angels out of biblical proportion. But Scripture makes it very clear that God's mighty, powerful angels are: "Ministering spirits, sent out to render service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation."
 Angels Are Not Called To Rule But To Serve, and David tells us about angels in Psalm 103: "They excel in strength, and do God's commandments, hearkening unto the voice of His Word." And the writer to the Hebrews reminds us that these mighty angels of God worship Him day and night: "All ministering spirits, sent out to render service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation."
 The main theme of this first chapter of Hebrews is the elevated status of our God and Savior Jesus Christ Who alone is worthy of all honor and worship.
Hebrews 1:14 Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, what a privilege to be adopted into Your family as children of God and to be made joint-heirs with Christ by Your grace, simply through believing in Jesus as our God and Savior. Thank You for the angelic host and the wonderful role that they play in Your eternal plans and purposes. Thank You that You send forth angels as ministering spirits to all who will inherit salvation. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
