Genesis 24:7..."The LORD, the God of heaven, who brought me out of my father's household and my native land and who spoke to me and promised me on oath, saying, 'To your offspring [or seed] I will give this land'-he will send his angel before you so that you can get a wife for my son from there.
Genesis 24: 40-46...40"He replied, 'The LORD, before whom I have walked, will send his angel with you and make your journey a success, so that you can get a wife for my son from my own clan and from my father's family. 41Then, when you go to my clan, you will be released from my oath even if they refuse to give her to you-you will be released from my oath.' 42"When I came to the spring today, I said, 'O LORD, God of my master Abraham, if you will, please grant success to the journey on which I have come. 43See, I am standing beside this spring; if a maiden comes out to draw water and I say to her, "Please let me drink a little water from your jar," 44and if she says to me, "Drink, and I'll draw water for your camels too," let her be the one the LORD has chosen for my master's son.' 45"Before I finished praying in my heart, Rebekah came out, with her jar on her shoulder. She went down to the spring and drew water, and I said to her, 'Please give me a drink.' 46"She quickly lowered her jar from her shoulder and said, 'Drink, and I'll water your camels too.' So I drank, and she watered the camels also.
Genesis 22:11-12...11But the angel of the Lord called out to him from heaven, "Abraham! Abraham!" "Here I am," he replied. 12"Do not lay a hand on the boy," he said." Do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son."
Genesis 22:15-18...15The angel ofthe Lord called to Abraham from heaven a second time 16and said, "I swear by myself, declares the LORD, that because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son, 17I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies, 18and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed me."
Genesis 21:17...God heard the boy crying, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and said to her, "What is the matter, Hagar? Do not be afraid; God has heard the boy crying as he lies there."

Do you believe in Angels?...I certainly do...Read Hebrews 13:2 (Don't forget to be kind to strangers, for those who have done this have entertained Angels without realizing it)...Most Americans are raised on the Christian ethics of the Ten Commandments, one of them being, "Thou shalt not kill"...And, then, a few of us join a branch of the U.S. Armed Forces and are sent off to war...Turning on the kill switch in a fire fight in a foreign land is a terrible reality...In time, you're replaced on the battlefield, put on a flight back to the U.S., processed out of the Army and back home in less than 72 hours...But, turning off the kill switch and adjusting to a post-war era Houston neighborhood can be even more challenging...It is my belief that when you take something out of the world, God expects you to put something back into the world...I came home on Halloween Day in 1966 after spending 15 months in Vietnam...My job back home was working on the 2nd shift at night...I liked that...Nighttime was quiet; nighttime was my friend, my protector and provided safety...Later, I went to college on the G.I. Bill and became a teacher...It took me 15 years to realize something...What was it?
