Do angels
get tired?
"Suddenly there
was a great earthquake,
because an angle of the Lord came down from heaven and rolled
aside the stone & sat on it."
Matthew 28 : 2
Angels never get tired, not
even a little bit, and they never sleep. They don't need sleep
like you do because they don't have human bodies. Good angels
are incredibly powerful and always ready to do what God tells
them to do. Angels can open locked doors, roll away huge stones
& even wipe out whole armies. That's because they are God's
servants & God gives them the power they need to carry out
his work. Angels are not all-powerful, however. The book of Daniel
tells of a time when Satan stopped an angel for a little while,
until the archangel Michael came to help him.
But you don't have to worry about angels getting tired, weak or
sick. You can also relax & be certain that someday they will
fight in the final battle against Satan & his demons
..
And win!
ACTIVITY
Gather some friends to put on a mini-play about God & his
powerful angels. One of you will play God, & the rest can
be good angels. Have "God" whisper a job to do in the
ear of one of the angels. Then the "angel" has to act
that out. Take turns until all the angels have done the work that
God has for each of them.
