Now Joshua son of Nun was filled with the spirit of wisdom because Moses laid his hands on him. Deuteronomy 34:9a
Do we understand the power of touch? Moses laid hands on Joshua, and Joshua received the spirit of wisdom. Jesus took every opportunity to reach out, not just in His words, but with His hands. Do we understand that touch involves more that our physical bodies? Do we understand the impact it can have to hug a lonely man or woman? Do we understand the harm it can cause if it is abused?
Lord, I so often yearn for appropriate touch. I am still that lonely, little boy. Send someone to reach out - to touch me, so my spirit might be touched as well. Let me feel Your touch today.
