TOUCH ME
Isaiah 6:1-10

The hand of God is mighty and cannot be reduced or denied in any area of life. In the hand of God there is deliverance and there is preservation. If there is anything to ask from Him in this season, it should be for His hand. The operation of His hand cannot be separated from that of His Word. When the Lord called Jeremiah, it was through the operation of His hand in combination with His Word. Jeremiah 1:9-10, “Then the LORD put forth His hand and touched my mouth, and the LORD said to me: ‘Behold, I have put My words in your mouth.10 See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out and to pull down, to destroy and to throw down, to build and to plant.’” In the calling of Jeremiah, the hand of God went forth before the Word sounded in Jeremiah’s direction. The Word of God was there to be activated for Jeremiah to answer and live for the fulfillment of his calling. Without the touching of God, he would not have been able to see. The Lord put forth His hand to call his attention to what had been deposited in him. It was the touch of God’s hand in the life of Jeremiah and the grace for Jeremiah to hear that caused Jeremiah’s eyes to be opened up and see. Jeremiah truly saw that day and his life was never the same. Has the Word God located you but you are yet to get a touch that will cause you to become on fire for Him? The hand of God and His Word can be likened to matches that spark fire in the hand of one waiting for the spark from the ignition of fire. Isaiah also testified in Isaiah 6:6-7, “Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a live coal which he had taken with the tongs from the altar. 7 And he touched my mouth with it, and said: ‘Behold, this has touched your lips; your iniquity is taken away, and your sin purged.’” Isaiah could not hear until he had been touched. As a result of the touch that came into his life, Isaiah became a flaming torch for the purpose of the Kingdom of God. The Book of Isaiah is referred to as the miniature Bible. Just like the Bible, his first thirty-nine chapters are compared to the first thirty-nine books of Old Testament while the last twenty-seven are compared to the last twenty–seven books of the New Testament. By His touch, Jeremiah and Isaiah carried out great exploits to the glory of God. Answering to the calling of God is great deliverance and reservation that keeps man from answering to wiles of the wicked world.

Prayer for today: Ask and ask consistently for the mercy that will cause His hand to touch you for His Name to be glorified in your life.
