“Angels are warriors with sleepless eyes.” -Charles Spurgeon

“The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear Him, and rescues them.” ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭34:7‬ (‭NASB)‬‬
The angel of the LORD encamps & rescues.


The Psalmist David was a student of the Word of God. He remembered the stories of how God’s angels protected the Israelites in the past.


David remembered how, “The angel of the Lord appeared to Moses in a blazing fire from the midst of a bush; and he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, yet the bush was not consumed.” Exodus 3:2 (NASB)


David remembered how Moses was guided by the angel of God during the Exodus from Egypt, “The angel of God, who had been going before the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud moved from before them and stood behind them.” Exodus 14:19 (NASB)


David knew, “The captain of the LORD'S host said to Joshua, ‘Remove your sandals from your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy.’ And Joshua did so.”
Joshua 5:15 (NASB)


David remembered that Jacob wrestled with an angel (Genesis 33:24).

From the Scriptures, David understood angels are created beings “Psalm 148:2,5 ‘Praise him, all his angels, praise him, all his heavenly hosts… Let them praise the name of the LORD, for he commanded and they were created.’”



Angels act as messengers of God. In Hebrew malakh and ἄγγελος AN-GA-LAS in Greek which means “messenger.” So the name angels is actually a job title.


Angels praise God! Angels serve God! Angels communicate God’s messages! Angels minister to believers!

Has someone ever appeared out of the blue to help you, and then disappear wanting no reward in return? Sometimes they show up in human form, “Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it.” Hebrews 13:2 (NASB)



David felt comfort in knowing watch was being kept for him on every side! The angel of the Lord encamped around him!


The God of angel armies is always on my side.

And He is on your side as well.

May you remember where the angel of God has shown up in the past, and place your hope in Him as He encamps around you and rescues you!

When Christ returns, angels will come with him as a great army accompanying their King and Lord (Matthew 16:27, Luke 9:26, 2 Thessalonians 1:7).
