Hey everybody. Today's post is going to be a fairly short one. Recently, I have had a song by my favorite band (Skillet) stuck in my head. The song is called "Looking for Angels". Have a listen:
The song talks about how people in this world are looking for somebody to be an "angel". Now, an angel, in simple terms, is a messenger from God. As Christians, I think that it is our job to be the angel to these people. One way we can be an angel to the hurting, is through service. Jesus give us a great example of service in the parable of the Good Samaritan:
"Jesus replied and said, "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, and they stripped him and beat him, and went away leaving him half dead. And by chance a priest was going down on that road, and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. Likewise a Levite also, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, who was on a journey, came upon him; and when he saw him, he felt compassion, and came to him and bandaged up his wounds, pouting oil and wine on them; and he put him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn and took care of him. On the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper and said, 'Take care of him; and whatever more you spend when I return I will repay you."
-Luke 10:30-35
This story is a beautiful example of service. The Samaritan saw this guy on the side of the rode, sacrificed his time, energy, and money to make sure that this man got better. He was being an angel to this man.
So, as Skillet puts it:
"What will you do to make a difference, to make a change? What will you do to help someone along the way?"
How will you be an angel?
