Phrase

I never walk alone, Christ walks beside me,
He is the dearest Friend I've ever known;
With such a Friend to comfort and to guide me,
  I never; no, I never walk alone.

poem by "A.H. Ackley"

I was having a conversation with some children about God and superheroes when Tobias asked a question. An imaginative, curious 5 year old, he asked anyone listening: "Does God have a sidekick like Hercules does?" His wiser, older brother, age 7, quickly responded: "Yes, He has thousands of them -- they're His angels."

Angels are a popular topic of discussion, and people believe a number of myths about them. For instance, some people pray to angels, thinking they are on the same level as God Himself. And some believe that people become angels when they die. But here's what the Bible, our authority, teaches:

• God created angels (Colossians 1:15-17).
• Angels worship God (Nehemiah 9:6), and are known by these term: archangels (Jude 1:9), cherubim (2 Kings 19:15), and seraphim (Isaiah 6:1-3).
• They minister to God's people (Hebrews 1:13-14) by guarding and protecting them (Psalm 91:9-12).
• They are given special assignments by God (Matthew 1:20; Luke 1:26).
• God's angels rejoice when we repent of sin and turn to Christ for salvation (Luke 15:7, 10).

Only God deserves our worship. So let's join the angels in singing His praises!
