God’s Touch

“In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated on a throne, high and exalted, and the train of his robe filled the temple.  Above him were seraphs, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying.  And they were calling to one another: ‘Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.’  At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke.  ‘Woe to me!’  I cried.  ‘I am ruined!  For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the LORD Almighty’” (Isaiah 6:1-5).

To experience the touch of God, we must first understand the being of God, the God of gods.  And then, we must experience the holy touch of that God.  Within it, we see our true selves.  In other words, through the holy touch of God, we can't help but realize our sins and humbly repent.  Just as Isaiah confessed, "Woe to me!  I am ruined!" (Isa. 6:5) when he experienced the holy touch of God, our response should also be one of humble repentance.  When we genuinely repent, God touches and restores us.  Only then can we respond to God's call to serve.  May such a transformation manifest in our lives through the touch of God.
