Angel Armies
Do I think of them much
Heavenly creatures
Immensely capable.
Assigned to protect
Those who stand as
Heirs of salvation.
The angelic bunch
Who guide, provide
Protect, advise, forewarn.
Warriors, messengers, supporters.
An angel gave courage to Gideon.
Another brought news of a
Miraculous Son to old Zacharias.
Many angels announced
The Bethlehem miracle.
Advised carpenter Joseph
Of next steps.
Comforted Jesus
In Gethsemane travail.
Guided Peter out of prison.
They are unlike
Any man or woman.
Selfless
Tireless
Limitless
Sinless.
Childless.
And One in particular.
Has my back.
Do you realize
That one in battle
Defeated 158,000
Of the Lord’s enemies?
In one night?
It’s in the Book.
