THOUSANDS
WAITED ON HIM
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “A thousand thousand waited on him,
ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him.” (Daniel 7:9-14)
Reflection. I always feel uncomfortable speaking
of angels. They are hard to pin down. It would be crude and unhelpful to see
them as a celestial civil service. So we fall back on the word itself: angel.
It means messenger and these three, whose names we have, made specific interventions
in the old and new testaments. They guided, they brought good news and they fought
on our side – always fulfilling missions from God on our behalf. They are messengers
constantly nudging, protecting and leading God’s people on their journey.
Prayer. Lord, may your holy angels guide us
on our way and help us be aware of dangers and make us attentive to your word. Amen.
