April 18. God touched our hearts. Saul also went to his home at Gibbia and with him went

men of valor whose hearts God had touched, 1 Samuel 10, 26. Just think of what is being

said in this verse. God touched them. Not a wife, not a child, not a parent, not a counselor,

but God. God touched them. The one with infinite power in the universe. The one with infinite

authority and infinite wisdom and infinite love and infinite goodness and infinite purity

and infinite justice. That one touched their heart. How does the circumference of Jupiter touch

the edge of a molecule? Let alone penetrate to its nucleus. The touch of God is awesome,

not just because it is God who touches, but also because it is a touch. It is a real connection

that it involves the heart is awesome, that it involves God is awesome and that it involves

an actual touch is awesome. The valiant men were not just spoken to. They were not just swayed

by a divine influence. They were not just seen and known. God with infinite condescension touched

their heart. God was that close and they were not consumed. I love that touch. I want it more and

more for myself and for all of you. I pray that God would touch me a new with his glory and for

his glory. I pray that he would touch us all. Oh, for the touch of God. If it comes with fire,

so be it. If it comes with water, so be it. If it comes with wind, let it come, oh God. If it comes

with thunder and lightning, let us bow before it. Oh, Lord, come, come that close. Burn and soak

and blow and crash or steal and small. Come, come all the way. Touch our hearts.
