A New Direction

This blog is currently being reformatted. In the near future you will see a drastic change to the Morning Sonshine devotional blog. The details of the change we will share soon. Yet I will tell you one thing, you will not only be blessed, you will be challenged and transformed in your walk with the Savior of this world! Because of the changes that are taking place, this will be the last post of the Morning Sonshine devotional blog for a time. Thank you for being part of Morning Sonshine and we are looking forward to many more postings (once we update the blog) in the near future!

Christ's Touch

In the old testament you find many incidences where God uses His hands to touch humanity. In Isaiah God says that with an outstretch hand He is calling out to a people who do not know Him to come to Him freely. In Exodus God physically moved Moses to the cleft of the rock and with His hand He shield him from His glory. In Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Zechariah, and other books of the Bible, shows a God who wants to be close, personal, intimate with His people! Oh how He yearns within Himself to gather us in His arms, in His lovely embrace! 

I believe many of us view God as personable, but as a God who likes to be touched and likes to touch? We can not comprehend it! Yet God is asking us to resemble Him in every aspect of our lives, including touching people with our hands and our heart.

"Physical touch is another method Christ used in His longing to connect with us, and I believe He still uses it when we touch each other through hugs, etc.

Another example of God touching humans is Genesis 2:7, when He FORMED man of the dust of the ground. That means God created the first human being exclusively by touch! Touching is how we as a race came into existence. That's powerful."(Steven Winn)
