Knowing God - The Angels Are God's Angels


Ps 103:20
Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.

The angels that serve the Lord are HIS angels.  He has them in rank and position to be about His business and hearken to the voice of His word.  The angelic beings that are on the Lord’s side excel in strength.  They are strong and they do the Lord’s commandments.  Many times artists portray angels and chubby little beings that seem dazed and confused.  This verse is letting us know that the angels bless the Lord by being strong, obedient and carrying out the Lord’s commands.  They do not bring attention to themselves.   They bring glory to God.  I wonder how many times they have been the vessels through whom God did amazing things and we did not recognize it.  We end up thanking God and not the angels and that is the way they would have it.  They desire their service to bless the Lord and I am sure that is what we often experience.
