Miracles in a touch...

Now the Jordan is at flood stage all during harvest. Yet as soon as the priests who carried the ark reached the Jordan and their feet touched the water’s edge, the water from upstream stopped flowing. It piled up in a heap a great distance away, at a town called Adam in the vicinity of Zarethan, while the water flowing down to the Sea of the Arabah (that is, the Dead Sea ) was completely cut off. So the people crossed over opposite Jericho.

This following song has been running through my head all morning...after reading from the gospels...that touch...I have had it at times of distress...comforting...acknowledging...encouraging....

These various people reported in the gospels and so many more that we didn’t read about...wanted and needed His touch...some like the centurion just asked in faith that his servant be healed...he just needed a word...not even a touch...but God can create with a word as well as heal with a word...

Thank YOU for your touch to my soul...

He touched me, lyrics, Gaither

Shackled by a heavy burden,

'Neath a load of guilt and shame.

Then the hand of Jesus touched me,

And now I am no longer the same.

He touched me, Oh He touched me,

And oh the joy that floods my soul!

Something happened and now I know,

He touched me and made me whole.

Since I met this blessed Savior,

Since He cleansed and made me whole,

I will never cease to praise Him,

I'll shout it while eternity rolls.

He touched me, Oh He touched me,

And oh the joy that floods my soul!

Something happened and now I know

He touched me and made me whole...
