Angel armies

They didn't sing it in church today. I did not listen to the radio. I don't know how it got in my "head"...

I know who goes before me
I know who stands behind
The God of angel armies
Is always by my side...



After listening to the song the lyrics came from, I realized how many truths are in it:

You hear me when I call
You are my morning song
Though darkness fills the night
It cannot hide the light

Whom shall I fear

You crush the enemy
Underneath my feet
You are my sword and shield
Though troubles linger still

Whom shall I fear

I know who goes before me
I know who stands behind
The God of angel armies
Is always by my side

The one who reigns forever
He is a friend of mine
The God of angel armies
Is always by my side

My strength is in Your name
For You alone can save
You will deliver me
Yours is the victory

Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear

I know who goes before me
I know who stands behind
The God of angel armies
Is always by my side

The one who reigns forever
He is a friend of mine
The God of angel armies
Is always by my side

And nothing formed against me shall stand
You hold the whole world in Your hands
I'm holding on to Your promises

You are faithful
You are faithful

And nothing formed against me shall stand
You hold the whole world in Your hands
I'm holding on to Your promises

You are faithful
You are faithful
You are faithful

I know who goes before me
I know who stands behind
The God of angel armies
Is always by my side

The one who reigns forever
He is a friend of mine
The God of angel armies
Is always by my side

I know who goes before me
I know who stands behind
The God of angel armies
Is always by my side 

The one who reigns forever
He is a friend of mine
The God of angel armies
Is always by my side

The God of angel armies
Is always by my side

"When the servant of the man of God rose early in the morning and went out, behold, an army with horses and chariots was all around the city. And the servant said, “Alas, my master! What shall we do?” He said, “Do not be afraid, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” Then Elisha prayed and said, “O Lord, please open his eyes that he may see.” So the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw, and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha."
~2 Kings 6:15-17
 
I brought this "angel" from our trip:
 
White angel with a metal wings adorned with leaves standing in the grass
  
I don't know what angels look like, but I know that God gave them charge over us to keep us in all our ways.
 
"For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways."
~Psalm 91:11
 
Lord, thank You that You hear me when I call, that You crush the enemy, that You go before me, that You stand behind me, that You are always by my side. Lord, You reign forever, You are my friend. My strength is in Your name, for You alone can save. Thank You for delivering me; whom shall I fear. Nothing formed against me shall stand; You hold the whole world in Your hands. You are faithful.
 
Keep CZECHING IN!
