Angels Employ My Hands to Do His Work

     Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his
commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word. Bless ye the Lord,
all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure. Ps. 103:20,
21  

     Angelic agencies, though invisible, are cooperating with visible
human agencies, forming a relief association with men. Is there not
something stimulating and inspiring in this thought that the human agent
stands as the visible instrument to confer the blessings of angelic
agencies? As we are thus laborers together with God, the work bears the
inscription of the divine. With what joy and delight all heaven looks
upon these blended influences, influences which are acknowledged in the
heavenly courts! Human agencies are the hands of heavenly
instrumentalities, for heavenly angels employ human hands in practical
ministry. Their acts of unselfish ministry make them partakers in the
success which is a result of the relief offered. This is Heaven's way of
administering saving power. The knowledge and actions of the heavenly
order of workers, united with the knowledge and power which are imparted
to human agencies, relieve the oppressed and distressed.  

     The very angels who when Satan was seeking the supremacy fought the
battle in the heavenly courts, and triumphed on the side of God; the
very angels who from their exalted position shouted for joy over the
creation of our world, and over the creation of our first parents, who
were to inhabit the earth . . . are most intensely interested to work in
union with the fallen, redeemed race in the development of that power
which God gives to help every man who will unite with heavenly
intelligences to seek and save human beings who are perishing in their
sins. . . .  

     Human agencies are called to be hand helpers, to work out the
knowledge and use the facilities of heavenly angels. By uniting with
these powers that are omnipotent, we shall be benefited by their higher
education and experience. . . . Such a cooperation will accomplish a
work which will give honor and glory and majesty to God.
