Jesus said, “Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven, for the Son of Man has come to save that which is lost” (Mt 18:10-11).
Jesus connects the fact that angels are assigned to individuals with the fact that he has come to seek and save the lost. I am reminded of Hebrews 1:14 which explains that angels are ministering spirits sent to those who will inherit salvation, and Romans 8:28-29 and Ephesians 1:11 which assures us that God works all things for our good. I also think of 1 Corinthians 4:9 and 11:10, and 1 Peter 3:22, and 1 Tim 5:21 which all mention the observation of angels in things pertaining to salvation.
In other words, God uses angels in our lives to maneuver things according to his will. There are many more things going on than we can see or imagine. All of which are for our benefit. We do indeed have much to be thankful for.
