Genesis 18:1–22; 19:1–29

Esther Maas, or Aunt Et as she is known to dozens of missionary kids around the world, was on her way to church on April 13, 1988. A short distance from home she was involved in a car accident. Almost immediately a man appeared at her van door. He took Esther’s hand, and at his touch a comforting peace spread over her. The man was in his thirties, he wore tan work clothes and needed a shave. He asked one bystander to go to a nearby store and call 911. When Esther asked his name, he said he couldn’t tell her his name but that she would be fine. The man stayed until the emergency crew arrived and then was gone. This man may not have been an angel, but his ministry fits with what we know from Scripture about what angelic care is like.
Group Discussion. Imagine that you are responsible to hire a personal guardian angel. What job requirements would you list in the help-wanted ad?

Personal Reflection. Were you ever told that you had a “guardian angel”? How would you picture such a being?
