The Angelic Touch
There have been number of moments
throughout my life felt the touch
a touch only felt on special occasions
here Elijah knew it indeed it was such
These moments God comes so convincingly
revealing Himself with a touch so divine
in that moment you know God's hand
assured of gracious peace as inward sign
The divine hand seems to be saying
this is the way walk it ordained by me
or He provides what you really need
it's such perfectly timed so you see
Often like Elijah you're so asleep
maybe a vision God gives you there
speaking with such still small voice
concerned He is to show His care
God knows your way that's ahead
giving strength for your every mile
love so perfect and so very pure
brings angelic touch wherever your isle
(Relating my Elijah moment ... when the journey proved to be too much for me, but in the end I knew that my Heavenly Father intervened for me.
1 Kings 19:5-7:
"Then he lay down and fell asleep under the broom tree. But suddenly an angel touched him and said to him: “Get up and eat.” When he looked, there at his head was a round loaf on heated stones and a jug of water. He ate and drank and lay down again. Later the angel of Jehovah came back a second time and touched him and said: “Get up and eat, for the journey will be too much for you.”)
