Prodigal: I wonder as I look into the heavens, what God and His angels are doing?
Me: I know they are out there.
Prodigal: Me too.
This is from the book The Pursuit of God by A.W. Tozer
Our trouble is that we have established bad thought habits. We habitually think of the visible world as real and doubt the reality of any other. We do not deny the existence of the spiritual world but we doubt that it is real in the accepted meaning of the word.
The world of sense intrudes upon our attention day and night for the whole of our lifetime. It is clamorous, insistent and self-demonstrating. It does not appeal to our faith; it is here, assaulting our five senses, demanding to be accepted as real and final. But sin has so clouded the lenses of our hearts that we cannot see that other reality, the City of God, shining around us. The world of sense triumphs. The visible becomes the enemy of the invisible; the temporal, of the eternal. That is the curse inherited by every member of Adam’s tragic race.
At the root of the Christian life lies belief in the invisible. The object of the Christian ‘s faith is unseen reality.
In that spiritual world there are forces that are of Satan that are trying to confuse you, make you doubt and to even suggest that you are not a wonderful Godly person. We use the word of the Lord to come against that. We also know that at any given minute we do not know how God is using His angels to protect us.
Remember to speak God’s word today because it is needed with what is going on in the invisible.
For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord, and he pondereth all his goings.
Proverbs 5:21
