Have you ever done any work in administration?  Ever been in a job where you organized and directed people?  Fifteen years ago or so, I had oversight of 200 volunteers when I was the kid’s ministry pastor of a growing megachurch.  It was a huge job and almost drove me over the edge of sanity, but that’s another story!

            Laurie was reading in Daniel yesterday and shared with me about a vision that Daniel had of God’s throne room.  Here’s part of it, from Daniel 7.

“Millions of angels ministered to him; many millions stood to attend him.  Then the court began its session, and the books were opened.”

            We were wondering what it would be like—rather, what kind of competency would be required—to have oversight of millions?  We’re not told a lot about angels in the Bible, but one of the things we are told is that they are to “minister to the heirs of salvation,” which, if you’re a follower of Jesus, would be you.  Daniel doesn’t reveal what, specifically, these angels are doing as they minister and attend to the Ancient of Days, as He is called here.  Regardless of what they’re about, it is impossible for us to fully comprehend a Being who is able to administer the tasks of millions upon millions of these angelic entities.  However, we shouldn’t be surprised that God, who knows the name of each star, about each falling sparrow and the number of hairs on our heads, does indeed have the competence and capacity to perform this administration. 

            This God, whom we serve, whom we love and who has graciously allowed us to know and have fellowship with, is, indeed, amazingly, wonderfully, unfathomable.
