No Other Rock

“Jesus put forth His hand and touched him.” ~ Matthew 8:3

Note: This devotion is from August 7th.

We all know the story of King Midas. He was the king that loved the monetary worth of the world so much, who was granted his wish of having “benefit” of turning everything to gold with his mere touch.

Well, I am sure you know how that story ends.

But what about another King who had much more sensible and moral spiritual senses? He has a golden touch in a much different form.

Whatever His nail-scarred hand touches, it blesses and transfigures. It brings foregiveness, restoration, healing. It transforms atrophy, paralysis and moral leprosy into health, vitality and wholeness. It awakens hope, faith, love, joy, goodwill. It dissolves fetters, and frees prisoners, and communicates power to live victoriously.

We all know the King Midas story. But sadly, not everyone knows the truth that is Jesus.

Today, I pray that you and I will start telling the truth, so that others will know.
