I have always loved the promise that God gave to Moses before he led the children of Israel to the land of Caanan: “Behold, I send an Angel before you, to keep you in the way, and to bring you into the place which I have prepared” (Exodus 23:20, American King James Version). It was echoed by the Psalmist when he said that God “shall give his angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways” (Psalms 91:11, AKJV).

Are there angels to guide us and keep us safe today? Yes, certainly there are!

From her study of the Bible, Mary Baker Eddy revealed that angels are “God’s thoughts passing to man; spiritual intuitions, pure and perfect; the inspiration of goodness, purity, and immortality, counteracting all evil, sensuality, and mortality” (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 581).
