“Angels in Disguise” by Kara Liggett

December 19

Psalm 91:11 “For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways."

What some people call “chance,” I call a miracle in waiting.  I have been the recipient of many blessed miracles in my lifetime.  I know these are miracles because I have some amazing prayer warriors working out the lifeline between Earth and Heaven for me.  

Every time I have needed something, from accommodations to a job, something has come through just in the nick of time.  My parents can testify and have borne witness to the times when I needed angels, there they were!  

My angels have come in the form of my sister and her family to families that we barely knew but that were ready and willing to become partners in my journey! 

I have met some of God’s most outspoken workers in the form of a dear family in Houston- the Miller’s and the Tour’s.  Mrs. Miller has always been a sweet, supportive friend, who has dispensed advice as judicious and spiritual as can be.  She has been uplifting and helped guide me in the right direction.  The Tour’s have been friends of mine since college when I attended Dr. Tour’s Sunday school class.  He was a man after God’s Heart and he had one of the aggressive and unapologetic approaches to spreading the gospel that I have ever witnessed.  Dr. Tour is a game-changer for Christians in a fallen world.  

Another family, in Louisiana, has taken me under their wing as one of their own, as a transplant in a foreign place where I didn’t have a church home or friends on which to lean.  They haven’t missed a beat by letting me join them for coffee in the morning or late night family discussions about Christmas decorations.  They simply said, “Here we are, come jump in the (Cajun) fray!”  

My angels are so dear to me that I can barely express the Thanks appropriate except to know that our Lord is looking down fondly on their efforts to spread kindness to all people that are pursuing God’s glorious purpose. 

I count myself blessed every day, for the wits about me to pursue the right paths.  I have a family that believes in the power of prayer and prays for the right opportunities, and in a stitch, prays for the angels to be ready to come to the rescue.  I can only hope that when someone needs reciprocal help, I am just as willing and able to offer any and all support that I can!
