In this race, the author refers to the angels like a
crowd at the Olympics that cheer on the runner

Kingdom of Heaven that Jesus entrusted us with
here on earth, and so this shows just how much
God wants us to win over all those things in this
life that try to stop us.
Of course, whilst our crowd is cheering,
the other side is booing and will use every dirty
trick to trip us. However, our running shoes have
the light of God and far better than Nike runners
even if they do have little-flashing lights on the
heels, in that he says in Psalm 119; 105, “Your word
is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”
As with Raphael appearing in solid form
although only a vision, it is not that uncommon
that we too experience the angelic appearing in
solid human form.
In my early days after my conversion and
often over enthusiasm to talk about God, a man I
had met in passing at my weekly prayer meeting
unexpectedly turned up to my house one
Saturday morning.
I welcomed him and organised coffee. The
fellowship was good and my wife at that time
joined to the conversation. However, because he
was my guest and came to see me I dominated the
conversations.
