angels

Yesterday was a better day because at our church, The River in Cambridge, Md. the Pastors opened the church to the Holy Spirit and let Him run the service, which they often do. When you praise God He is right there in the midst of everything as well as His angels. Angels hearken ( listen, pay attention) to the word of God so as soon as you speak scripture they are right there listening & taking your prayers to Abba our Father in heaven. I cannot describe how awesome the prescence of God is when He is right there with you and filling the sanctuary, or any place you praise Him. King David often spoke of God and praising him in the sanctuary in the Old Testament. He had a very close relationship with God, our Father, our creator.

   I was in the shower and a scripture popped in my head ( that often happens) concerning marriage after our spouse dies. It says that "we are neither married or given in marriage in heaven, upon the resurrection, that we are like God's angels" ( Mark 12:25) : Luke 20:34-36 says pretty much the same thing. It has very much added to my sorrow even though I knew that my marriage ended when my husband died. I mean, it makes perfect sense because the church, Christ's body of believers, will be His bride in the new earth and being married to someone else would be adultery. I suppose, as well, that having glorified bodies it would be hard to snuggle anyway. Charlie had to snuggle with me to be able to sleep because he was afraid; I was his security blanket.
