The Truth about Angels

Ellen Gould White

2017

Abstract

A guardian angel is appointed to every follower of Christ. These heavenly watchers shield the righteous from the power of the wicked one. This Satan himself recognized when he said: “Has Job feared God for nought? Have not You made an hedge about him?” The agency by which God protects His people is presented in the words of the psalmist: “The angel of the Lord encamps round about them that fear Him, and delivers them.” The angels appointed to minister to the children of God have at all times access to His presence. We know not what results a day, an hour, or a moment may determine, and never should we begin the day without committing our ways to our heavenly Father. His angels are appointed to watch over us, and if we put ourselves under their guardianship, then in every time of danger they will be at our right hand. When unconsciously we are in danger of exerting a wrong influence, the angels will be by our side, prompting us to a better course, choosing our words for us, and influencing our actions. Angels of God are all around us. Angels of God are commissioned from heaven to guard the children of men.
