Angels at your service
Originally appeared on spirituality.com
Chatting with a nice woman next to me on the commuter train platform, I was drawn to her tote bag. It featured a stylized drawing of angels’ wings and the words “Angels at Your Service.” She explained that the medical clinic she worked for provided this service for people who had no transport to get them to and from their appointments.
As I climbed onto the train, I thought about angels. Mary Baker Eddy defined them in her book, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures as, “God’s thoughts passing to man ….” I felt really comforted, knowing that these Godlike thoughts are always at our service. I thanked God for the angel messages that come to us all the time, steering us in the right direction, comforting us, and always ready to serve us.
Jesus talked about legions of angels when Pilate was interrogating him, prior to the crucifixion : “Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?” Wow. Thousands upon thousands of inspired thoughts, coming our way!
