God’s Touch

From: CareLines: Volume 5

By: Paul J. Pascoe

DAN 10:8-10⁸Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me: for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength. ⁹Yet heard I the voice of his words: and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I in a deep sleep on my face, and my face toward the ground. ¹⁰And, behold, an hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands. (Daniel 10:8‑10)

I was left alone . . . I retained no strength. . . . And, behold, a hand touched me.

Daniel 10:8-10⁸Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me: for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength. ⁹Yet heard I the voice of his words: and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I in a deep sleep on my face, and my face toward the ground. ¹⁰And, behold, an hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands. (Daniel 10:8‑10)

Daniel had been fasting for three weeks and saw a vision of a man clothed in fine linen with a golden belt. Daniel was frightened and fell on his face. Then he felt the touch of God’s hand. When we are most afraid, God is there to be with us and help us through our troubles.
