Take the Risk

by PamFord Davis  
8/12/2024 / Devotionals

Power is released in the touch of two people. Some describe it as chemistry or animal magnetism. I believe the cause goes much deeper.

The sense of touch is a divine gift of God. He breathed the breath of life into Adam. That implies the Lord’s closeness, connection and intimacy with man. Through touch, the first man and woman found companionship and satisfaction. The birth of Cain gave Adam and Eve new flesh to tenderly caress.

Being blessed to birth two children, I experienced touch in a new way. I first looked at my bundles of joy. Firstborn, daughter April was tiny with a head full of dark hair (while at nearly 9 pounds) son Lee took me by surprise! Next, I touched their faces, fingers and toes. Is there anything softer than a newborn baby’s skin?

Most have felt the tender touch of a loved one or caregiver when experiencing sickness or pain. How could I ever forget Dad’s hand on my forehead? The physical sensation my cease but the connection lingers.

Touching others can sometimes be risky; take the risk.

“And behold, a woman who had suffered from a discharge of blood for twelve years came up behind him and touched the fringe of his garment, for she said to herself, ‘If I only touch his garment, I will be made well.’ Jesus turned, and seeing her he said, ‘Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well.’ And instantly the woman was made well (Matthew 9:20-22 ESV).”

Have faith; touch the Savior.
