SAN LUCAS 1:35

Hierdie 4-dagleesplan verduidelik hoe God steeds sy engele stuur om mense te beskerm, te lei en te versterk. Deur Bybelse verhale soos dié van Hagar, Daniël, Elia en Jesus sien ons dat God hulp stuur in tye van teleurstelling, vernedering, vrees, versoeking en swaarkry. Alhoewel ons nie altyd engele sien nie, leer die Skrif dat God oor sy kinders waak en hulp voorsien wanneer ons Hom nodig het. Hierdie boodskappe herinner ons om op God te vertrou, moed te hou en te glo dat ons nie alleen is nie, want God sorg op wonderlike maniere vir ons.
