No reason for you to know this when you plunged into the new week, but in the calendar of the Christian church today is the day of “St. Michael and All Angels”
The archangel Michael shows up in the biblical books of Daniel (10:13-21, 12:1), Jude (9), and in Revelation 12:7-9, “There was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. The great dragon was hurled down – that ancient serpent called the devil or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.”
Michael is our protector. Indeed, that’s the task God’s given to all the good angels. “He will command His angels concerning you, to guard you in all your ways” (Psalm 91:11).
Angels aren’t objects of worship but servants of God. They get only one day of honor in the church calendar. Good thing God has them on duty more than one day a year for you and me.
