Jacob went on his way and the angels of God met him; and when Jacob saw them he said, \u2018This is God\u2019s camp!\u2019 So he called that place Mahanaim.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hebrews 1:14<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are not all angels spirits in the divine service, sent to serve for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jacob, the trickster, after twenty years in hiding from Esau (from whom he stole his birthright), 14 serving Laban for his daughters and 6 for his flocks, sneaks away from Laban out of fear. Laban pursues him, and only a warning from God in a dream keeps Laban from doing Jacob harm. Instead they make a pillar of stones and make a covenant that neither will cross this point to do the other harm, nor will Jacob take other wives. Laban leaves Jacob, and Jacob continues on towards his birth home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then this passage: God\u2019s angels meet Jacob so Jacob call the place Mahanaim,<\/em> meaning two hosts or two camps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If God sends angels to watch over and protect the trickster Jacob, then surely God sends angels to watch over each of his people, his broken and redeemed, sanctified people,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

which is us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where will you see God or God\u2019s angels watching, protecting, guiding you this day?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
