Jacob went on his way, and the
angels of God met him.
Gen 32:1 (KJV)
It is in the path where God has bade us walk that we shall find the
angels around us. We may meet them, indeed, on paths of our own choosing, but
it will be the sort of angel that Balaam met, with a sword in his hand, mighty
and beautiful, but wrathful too; and we had better not front him! But the
friendly helpers, the emissaries of God’s love, the apostles of His grace, do
not haunt the roads that we make for ourselves. –Alex. McLaren
