Tobias, the son of Tobit, is preparing for a journey to Media, and he needs someone familiar with the route to accompany him. In his search, he meets Raphael, who appears as a man but is actually an angel sent by God. This meeting is significant because it underscores the theme of divine intervention and guidance. Tobias's lack of awareness about Raphael's true identity suggests that God's help can come in forms we might not immediately recognize. This story encourages believers to trust in God's provision and guidance, even when it comes through seemingly ordinary means. It also reflects the broader biblical theme of angels as messengers and protectors, sent by God to assist His people. The narrative invites us to remain open to the ways God might be working in our lives, often through unexpected encounters or people. By trusting in God's unseen hand, we can find assurance and peace in our journeys, knowing that we are never truly alone.
So Tobias went out to look for a man who might go with him to Media, someone who was acquainted with the way. He went out and found the angel Raphael standing in front of him, but he did not know that he was an angel of God.
