Last Sunday after our service in the woods, we received a prayer request from one of the people living out in the camps. The request was for God to send an angel to help her through a difficult time. The author of Hebrews tells us, 'Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it.' (Hebrews 13:2) and Jesus reminds us, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.' (Matthew 25:40)
We may never know who the person we are ministering to is really is. Could that person be Jesus? Could the person stopping to offer help be an angel? What if we did walk by and refuse comfort or pushed someone aside that offered a helping hand?
In our prayer that morning we asked God to send an angel not really knowing if there was an angel already in our midst and we did not know.
