The man, Azariah, who chaperoned Tobiah to a distant land at Tobit’s request, after successfully completing the journey with well beyond all that was asked for, then revealed a great secret to them all. He said, “I will now tell you the whole truth; I will conceal nothing at all from you. I have already said to you, ‘A king’s secret it is prudent to keep, but the works of God are to be made known with due honor.’ I can now tell you that when you, Tobit, and Sarah prayed, it was I who presented and read the record of your prayer before the Glory of the Lord; and I did the same thing when you used to bury the dead (Tobit). When you did not hesitate to get up and leave your dinner in order to go and bury the dead, I was sent to put you to the test. At the same time, however, God commissioned me to heal you and your daughter-in-law (to be) Sarah. I am Raphael, one of the seven angels who enter and serve before the Glory of the Lord.” Tb_11:5-17
You never know when your whole life is resting in the hands of an angel! Just may be that next door neighbor!
