He can make you His messenger and minister.

Hebrews 1:7 And of the angels He says, “Who makes His angels winds, And His ministers a flame of fire.” The author quoted from Psalms 104:4. But let’s read verses 1-4 to get the context and the full meaning of this verse. Bless the LORD, O my soul! O LORD my God, You are very great; You are clothed with splendor and majesty, covering Yourself with light as with a cloak, stretching out heaven like a tent curtain. He lays the beams of His upper chambers in the waters; He makes the clouds His chariot; He walks upon the wings of the wind; He makes the winds His messengers, flaming fire His ministers.” We can see that the author is contrasting the position and ministry of the angels with the position and ministry of the Son. The angels are messengers or ministers, and God is so great, He uses both the wind and fire to speak His messages and serve His purposes. God can also make you and me His messengers and ministers. As God puts people in our paths today, we have His message to give and His ministry to perform. He hasn’t asked us to serve Him and them in our own strength. He has given us His Son, through whom we have confident access to the throne of grace so that we may receive mercy and grace to help in time of need (Heb. 4:14-16). Are you in need of help today? Are you facing some tremendous loss or trial that has you overwhelmed and troubled? Do you need help loving your husband or wife, parents or children, or work associates? Be encouraged today that God has called you, raised you up with Jesus, and has given you access to all that you need from God. You need only ask that He would magnify His name in your life and in those situations which the Lord has spoken into being. (Remember, He runs all things by the word of His power). He promises to preserve you with grace and mercy if you will draw near to Him and hold fast to what you believe about Jesus. He is the Son of God. He is your creator. He is seated in the place of all authority. He loves you and is with you. He can make you His messenger and minister.
