1CORINTHIANS 12:1
* Paul is answering another question raised by the Corinthians in their letter.
1 Corinthians 1:7 So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Peter 3:12 Looking for an hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
Note: That day may be hastened by God's people as they speed up the accomplishment of His purposes. Since He is waiting for all who will come to repentance, the sooner believers being others to teh Savior the sooner that day will dawn. Prayer also serves to hasten the day (Matt. 6:10), as does holy living the day of God.
Matthew 6:10 Thy Kingdom come thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Psalms 103:20 Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word that do his commandments. Heb. 1:14
Psalms 34:7 The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
**The line speaks of the security with which the Lord surrounds his people, individually and collectively; it does not teach a doctrine of individual "guardian angels." them that fear him.
