Beloved your weakness is not a liability, when the Lord is your God. Because those who fear him, those who give him the honor he deserves – need not fear anything else, because the angel of the LORD will set his battle encampment around all them who fear him. The first thing you should know is that the angel of the LORD is no ordinary angel. Throughout the Old Testament, he was worshiped by many and did things that only God can do. He is the pre-incarnate Son of God, our Deliverer, and redeemer. We should also notice in this verse that he is always near “those who fear him” Jesus’s protection and presence are very real, and they aren’t dependent on loud singing, how many notes were taken during a sermon, or how educated you are. Listen to me today, experiencing God has a lot more to do with fearing him than with animated church activity, and that is the problem today, we don’t fear him.
David says in verse 5 “Those who look to him are radiant, and their faces shall never be ashamed”.
Is a reference to the face of those who look to the Lord for their deliverance. When we look to Him, we are never put to shame by being neglected or forsaken. So Verse 7 changes the focus from the security and assurance of the saints to the instrument by which God’s protection is accomplished and guaranteed. Just as Elisha was confident of the protection of the angelic hosts when he and his servant were surrounded by the army of Syria (2 Kings 6), so David sees the “angel of the Lord” encamped about every saint.
Those who look to God for their protection and deliverance must understand that deliverance may often take place in unexpected and unforeseen ways. In the Old Testament, the Son of God was near at hand to save His people, but few were aware of it. In the New Testament, the Son of God came to the earth in human flesh to dwell amongst His people and to save them, yet few recognized Him.
