An Angel’s Share –

~ Job 33:23
If then there be for him an angel,
one out of a thousand, a mediator,
To show him what is right for him
and bring the man back to justice

~Psalm 8:3-6
When I peer into Your sky,
The labor of Your fingers,
The moon and the stars that You established:
What is humanity, that You remember them?
And the children of humanity, that You are mindful of them?
You have made humans a little lower than angels,
And crowned them with honor and splendor.
You gave them stewardship over the works of Your hands
And You have set all things at their feet.
