Read the Bible in a Year 
This evening read Revelation 22 


Angels Are Our Fellow Servants! 


What would we do, if we saw a holy angel in his glorious majesty? We would probably do what John did, and that was to worship the angel. However, the angel stopped John, 

Then he said to me, �See that you do not do that. For I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.�
(Re. 22:9, NKJV)

Why should we not worship angels? They are not gods. If they are not gods, what then are they? This one said that he was John's fellow servant. In the eyes of an angel, humans, Christians, are on equal terms because we both serve God! We see ourselves as beneath the angels, but realize today that you are a servant, along with angels, of God. Therefore, serve and worship God, not self.
