Introduction: A Journey into Deeper Trust
As we step into February, our spiritual adventure continues with a focus on trusting God’s heavenly army—His angels. Angels are not distant beings but active participants in God’s plans for us. They bring messages, fight battles, offer protection, and assist in fulfilling God’s purposes in our lives. This month, we’ll learn how to deepen our trust in God’s provision and guidance through His angelic hosts.
In this month’s tasks, we’ll reflect on various tribes of angels and their roles, such as guardian angels, intercession angels, warrior angels, scribe angels, and watcher angels. We’ll also explore how they partner with us in prayer and worship. Through scripture, visualization, and reflection, you’ll grow in confidence and intimacy with Jesus, who is the Captain of the Lord’s army (Joshua 5:14-15).
