The Devotional to End All DevotionalsSample

Angels are powerful spirit beings created by God for Himself before the creation of the world. They are not reincarnated human beings. Though it may be comforting to think that loved ones who have passed on may continue to guide and protect us as angels, it simply is not true. 

Throughout scripture, we see angels doing God’s bidding, making announcements, and standing by to be summoned by God. Use the CUT method to study the following passages and see if you can determine the value of angels in a believer’s life.

Context:  “What’s going on here and how does it fit with what I already know to be true?”

-read content before and after passage

-determine author, audience, purpose

-determine time, place, setting

Understanding: “What does it mean?”

-underline, highlight, and circle

-paraphrase

-use resources to define unclear terms and ideas

Truth application: “Where do I go from here?”

-record encouragement you took away

-record ways you were challenged 

-make a plan for change

Thank God for the help and ministry of angels and for making you human so you could be adopted as His child through faith.
