to attend upon us.
Is God so ready to do us good, and shall we be slow or neglectful in serving Him?
4. If we attend upon God, His holy angels will have charge to attend upon us. The angels are appointed as ministering spirits, serving for the benefit of those who will inherit salvation. They perform far more good offices for us each day than we are aware of.
What an honour and privilege it is to be served by holy angels—to be borne up in their arms, encircled by their protection. Their ministry is our defence against the malice of evil spirits. This is the privilege of all who wait upon God throughout the day.
5. This life of communion with God and constant attendance upon Him is like a heaven on earth. It is the work of heaven and the will of God done on earth as it is in heaven, where the business of angels is to always behold the face of our Father.
Living in communion with God is a foretaste of the blessedness of heaven. It is a preparation for it and an introduction to it. It means having our conversation in heaven, from which we look for the Saviour. By looking for Him as our Saviour, we also look to Him as our Guide.
Through this practice, we show that our hearts are set on heaven. This gives us confidence to expect that we shall soon be there with Him.
Thirdly, let me conclude with some directions for how you may wait on God all the day.
