Day 15 - 2 Peter 2:11-16

These people are proud and arrogant, daring even to scoff at supernatural beings without so much as trembling. 11 But the angels, who are far greater in power and strength, do not dare to bring from the Lord a charge of blasphemy against those supernatural beings.

12 These false teachers are like unthinking animals, creatures of instinct, born to be caught and destroyed. They scoff at things they do not understand, and like animals, they will be destroyed. 13 Their destruction is their reward for the harm they have done. They love to indulge in evil pleasures in broad daylight. They are a disgrace and a stain among you. They delight in deception even as they eat with you in your fellowship meals. 14 They commit adultery with their eyes, and their desire for sin is never satisfied. They lure unstable people into sin, and they are well trained in greed. They live under God’s curse. 15 They have wandered off the right road and followed the footsteps of Balaam son of Beor, who loved to earn money by doing wrong. 16 But Balaam was stopped from his mad course when his donkey rebuked him with a human voice.

Just a cool thought. There could be an angel in the room you're in now.

Like I said, just a thought.

They're NOTHING to scoff at. They are powerful beings, God's beings, who are fighting spiritual battles all around us.

We need too remember the power and holiness of God, and just how indebted we are to him. We owe him our lives!

The thing that stands out to me about this passage is that "But the angels, who are far greater in power and strength" It is reassuring to me that the angels - who are created to serve humans as we are here on earth - are far greater in power and strength than any evil!!  Praise God!
