Ministering Spirit
A Reflection on Hebrews 1:14 and Psalm 104:4
Ministering spirit—sent from the throne above,
Not to be worshipped, but to serve with love.
They are flames of fire, winds of grace,
Guarding the heirs of salvation's embrace.
Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation? (Hebrews 1:14)
They carry messages, they protect the weak,
They strengthen the weary, they help the meek.
They encamp around those who fear the Lord,
Silent guardians of His holy word.
When the path is dangerous, they go before.
When the night is darkest, they guard the door.
Not seen by earthly eyes, but ever near,
Whispering courage, dispelling fear.
He makes winds His messengers, flames of fire His servants. (Psalm 104:4)
We do not pray to them, but we thank the King
Who gives these ministering spirits on mighty wing.
They rejoice when one sinner repents and turns,
And they learn from the church the wisdom that burns.
**So we welcome Your servants, O Lord, by Your grace,
To watch over our lives, to protect every place.
Ministering spirits, be swift to obey,
Guiding us safely through each passing day.
Amen.
