In Psalm 91:11, we have a beautiful image of the Lord’s love and protection: He shall give His angels charge over you. Inside the Tabernacle were two angels made of gold, facing each other above the mercy seat. And it was there that the glory of the Lord appeared.
God said, “The cherubim shall stretch out their wings above, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and they shall face one another. … And there I will meet with you, and I will speak with you from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim which are on the ark of the Testimony” (Exodus 25:20-22).
Now, as Paul declares in Acts 17:24, God does not dwell in temples made with human hands. Instead, He wants to dwell in you! Paul also writes in 1 Corinthians 3:16, Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
That’s what Jesus died to perform. The veil of the Temple was torn, giving us access to God’s presence through the Lamb of God who shed His precious blood to pay for our sins.
Yet keep this picture in your mind—one angel on your right and one on your left, with their wings covering you. And in that, the glory of the Lord will appear for you. Jesus is praying for you: Since He always lives to make intercession for them (Hebrews 7:25).
God has given us His Son. He has put His angels over us. He has promised us the outpouring of His Holy Spirit that began on the Day of Pentecost. He forgives all our sins and heals all our diseases, as Psalm 103:3 says.
The Lord wants to do miracles in your life. When you believe, God does all the rest. By faith in Jesus, you can have that glory of the Lord in your life. God bless you!
