Monday's Devo - Angels in Charge

Read 1 Chron 27:26-31
Ps. 91 says that He will give his angels charge over us and they will keep us in all our ways. Verse 26 tells about the angels that overlook the work of the field. We know the field is the world and the tillage of the ground would be the softening of people's hearts to receive the gospel. The next 4 verses have two parts to them. The first part has to do with the natural dominion and the second part has to do with the spiritual. In verse 27 we have the spirits over the vineyards - the joy and entertainment. The ones in charge of the vineyards are called "famous" and "high seat of idolatry", but the ones over the increase of the vineyards for the wine cellars were "giving a gift" and "high". The entertainment field has been mostly a seat of idolotry but God is invading that arena and giving extraordinary giftings to his people. He is the God of "more than enough" so he is over the increase and the cellars where the excess is stored. We are to store up our treasures in heaven which makes heaven a big cellar.
In verse 28 we have the spirits over the olive trees and the sycomore trees. Olive trees yield illuminating oil so I would think they stand for education and knowledge in the natural and insight, anointing, and wisdom in the spirit. The sycomore trees yeild fruit and we know what the fruit of the spirit is and what rotten fruit is. There are trees in the low plains (the wilderness, the desert) - the hard places in life, and in the valleys where God's domain is, where the grass is green and the garden's are (Son 6:11). The man's name over the the plains meant "possessor of grace". God sends his messengers of grace to us in out desert places. Next are the angels over the herds that fed in the plains and the valleys. The cattle do the ploughing so they are the trail-blazers and forerunners that do the dirty work for the ones to come behind them. The camels and the asses had to do with the work force; business. In the spirit they are also the burden-bearers. One of the man's names meant "mournful" and another meant "God will hear". What a promise for those who mourn.
In verse 31 it gives us the spirits over the flocks. That has to be the church. His name meant "he will make him conspicuous; abundance". God will cause us to shine like stars, smell like incense, and flow like oil when we move in Him. These rulers or spirits were over all of the riches of the king and these angels are over all the riches of God.
May we be trees planted beside the water that brings fruit in our season. (Ps. 1)
