Ministering Angels

In an attempt to put God to the test, Satan tried to work through Jesus to have Him to intentionally throw Himself off the top of the temple for angels to come to the rescue.  Satan said to Jesus, "If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone" (Matthew 4:6).  Jesus immediately stymied Satan's motive with the Word of God--"Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God" (v. 7).

It turns out that after the confrontation with Satan in the wilderness that, in His humanness, Jesus had 'dash[ed] [His] foot against a stone (v. 6).  It is in this respect that angels came to minister to Jesus.  The angels came to 'bear [Him] up' (v. 6).

We have angels watching over us as well.  Listen carefully to the words of 'Angels Watching Over Me' by Amy Grant.  The above 1984 video depicts the work of angels.
