20 Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared (Exodus 23:20).
Part of the nature of God’s sovereignty is provision and protection for His people. In the case of the Exodus, God provided an Angel to go before Israel in order to deliver Israel from their enemies. Enemies of God’s people are enemies of God. Angels often fulfill the roles of protectors and messengers for God’s people and against God’s enemies. Angels are spiritual beings and they exist regardless of whether we actually see them. They do at times, at God’s command, interact in human history. However, they always serve God and are present for His glory and the good of God’s people. We can be assured that God will provide for us and guide us to the place we belong. How blessed we are when the Angels of God go before us.
