“Angels around us, angels beside us, angels within us, angels within us. Angels are watching over you when times are good or stressed. Their wings wrap gently around you, whispering you are Loved.“
God created the angels for many purposes, including guiding, protecting, encouraging and strengthening us. Scripture tells us that angels are God’s servants, sent by Him into the world to serve His will. Perhaps the most essential role for angels is praising and glorifying God.
In fact, there is a description in the Bible of millions of angels praising God in Heaven. God has also commanded His angels concerning you. Though we may not see them or know they are there, angels are watching over us, transporting blessings into our lives, protecting us from danger and helping us to glorify God better. Scripture proves it. Here are seven Bible verses about angels watching over us.
- Psalm 34:7: “The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him, and rescues them”. 1
- Psalm 91:11: “For He will give His angels charge concerning you, to guard you in all your ways”.
- Psalm 91:11-12: “For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways”. These verses highlight the protective role of angels in the lives of believers.
