The Angels We Create
"Yaacov sent angels before him to Eisev, his brother." (Bereishis 32:4)
The angels that Yaacov sent were not created by HaShem! Rather, Yaacov created the angels that he sent, through his mitzvos, as it says, "If a person does one mitzvah he acquires one 'advocate.'"
Lesson: HaShem blessed man with the power to create angels for himself through the good deeds that he performs. These angels protect him and advocate for him before HaShem.
App: Each time you do a mitzvah, or learn Torah, rejoice in knowing that you are creating for yourself holy angels of protection.
(Based on the commentary of Lev Eliyahu on Bereishis) |
