MESSAGE: Have you ever had something happen to you that was kind of scary? I mean after it happened you were thinking like, WOW! That could have really hurt me! (share comical facial and body motions to indicate fear)
Well the good news is that God has angels that watch over us and protect us. They are often called "guardian angels" because the guard us from some of the harm that can come our way as we live our lives.
So what do angels really look like? The Bible doesn’t tell us exactly what angels look like. In fact in many cases they are simply invisible to us, we can not see them standing watch over us. Sometimes angels are visible to people, like when the angels told the shepherds watching their flocks that the baby Jesus was born.
From the Bible we learn that angels look kind of like you and me, but that they have something special, wings. That's right angels have wings and can fly. The angels that appeared before the shepherds were bright and as the Bible says, "the glory of the Lord shone around them!" The Bible also tells us that sometimes angels simply took on the shape of people and it was only later that people understood who the angels were.
God created the angels before the beginning of time, and they had one purpose, to be servants for God. Angels watch over God’s people, to deliver them from evil and safeguard their entrance into heaven. We may not even think about them very much or realize their importance, but they still watch over us. The Bible says, “Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?” (Hebrews 1:14).
Let's listen and sing an angel song that let's us know that we are always under the protection of God's angels.

Lyrics: Angels Watching Over Me
All night, all day
Angels watching over me my Lord.
All day, all night
Angels watching over me.
Sun is a-setting in the west.
Angels watching over me my Lord.
Sleep my child, take your rest.
Angels watching over me.
All night, all day
Angels watching over me my Lord.
All day, all night
Angels watching over me.
Now I lay me down to sleep,
Angels watching over me my Lord.
I pray the Lord my soul to keep,
Angels watching over me.
All night, all day
Angels watching over me my Lord.
All day, all night
Angels watching over me.
All night, all day
Angels watching over me my Lord.
All day, all night
Angels watching over me.
Sun is a-setting in the west.
Angels watching over me my Lord.
Sleep my child, take your rest.
Angels watching over me.
All night, all day
Angels watching over me my Lord.
All day, all night
Angels watching over me.
Now I lay me down to sleep,
Angels watching over me my Lord.
I pray the Lord my soul to keep,
Angels watching over me.
All night, all day
Angels watching over me my Lord.
All day, all night
Angels watching over me.
