"The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them." - Psalms 34:7.
Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but out of them all the Lord delivereth them. If worldly men are competent to effect the deliverance, the Lord accomplishes it by them. If saints are needed, saints are employed. If the impediments cannot be removed in this way, if supernatural aid is necessary, then the angels receive their commission. If an army of these invincible ones are needed, they are sent, and under the guidance of their leader they encamp around about the imperiled believer. If the work to be performed is beyond the prowess of any created beings, the Omnipotent Spirit hastens to put forth his irresistible energies in behalf of his servant.
All our biographies are necessarily very imperfect. We have not in this world the materials for writing them. The most remarkable incidents have to be omitted, or just shadowed forth, as the documents relating to the operations of one’s invisible attendants are not with us, but in the other world. If only our eyes were opened, like those of the servant of Elisha, to behold these celestial auxiliaries with their fiery chariots!
