Description

I enjoy painting and digital art. This image started from a partial abstract painting that I took a photograph of and finished using different brushes, pencils and color to paint digitally on the image and used textures to enhance. It began to take the shape of an angel and so I let it come forth into this abstract form of an angel. Hope you like it.

It was taken from the scripture, "He has given His angels charge over us to guard us in all of our ways... Psalm 91:11.

Angels are mentioned 273 times in the Bible. Angels are personal spiritual beings who have intelligence, emotions, and will. Angels are spirit beings without true physical bodies. Although they do not have physical bodies, they are still personalities. Because they are created beings, their knowledge is limited. This means they do not know all things as God does (Matthew 24:36). They do seem to have greater knowledge than humans, however, which may be due to three things. First, angels were created as an order of creatures higher than humans. Therefore, they innately possess greater knowledge. Second, angels study the Bible and the world more thoroughly than humans do and gain knowledge from it (James 2:19; Revelation 12:12). Third, angels gain knowledge through long observation of human activities. Though they have wills, angels, like all creatures, are subject to the will of God. Good angels are sent by God to help believers (Hebrews 1:14).
