Sweetly singing o'er the plains.
Sweetly.
The story of the shepherds in their fields
at night is told in
Luke 2:8-14.
Luke 2:9 tell us the shepherds were
terrified.
Somehow, I don't think angels look quite
like we like to depict them.
All sweet and cherubic.
Any time someone in the bible comes
face to face with an angel they
seem to fall flat on their faces from fear.
So while we reflect on this sweet little
baby in the manger,
let's not forget the
mighty warrior
he is and the war he
wages for our salvation.
Angels are there at his bidding. And they are His warriors, so they must pack quite the punch!
ReplyDeleteWe should all be "sore" afraid ! Of angels, and GOD. I accuse my children of being disrespectful, but who really respects GOD the way we should.. ??
