Exodus 31:28 “When He had finished speaking with him upon Mount Sinai, He gave Moses the two tablets of the testimony, tablets of stone, written by the finger of God.”

HIS TOUCH

 I was going to name this blog “God Gave Moses The Finger,” but I figured that might offend some people.  Lol.  But He did. God used His finger to write the ten commandments on the tablets.  He didn’t have to do that. He could have chiseled them with fire from heaven.  He could have just spoke them into existence.  But He touched them with His finger.

Can you imagine how Moses felt when he picked them up?  These two stone tablets had just been touched by God Himself.  He knew the holiness of these commandments, not because of the words written, but because of the One they were written by.  Touched by God Himself.

TEACHING MOMENT

Your children have been touched by God also.  The Word says we are knit together in our mother’s womb.  Who do you think does the knitting?  God does.  He creates new life Himself.  He creates us in His image.  That includes little Elrod and Gertrude, no matter what they may act like.

Remind them that God touched them.  Remind them that He has made them in His image.  Remind them He has created them to be holy as He is holy.  They have been fashioned and formed by God to be used by Him to draw others to Him.  Their purpose is to glorify the Father.

Do you feel God’s finger on you?  Can you see His fingerprint in your life?  As a believer, we should see God’s prints all over us.  Others should see them too.  The next time you are trying to get all those fingerprints off your windows or doors remember God has His prints on you.  Don’t wipe those off.

Your prints, O Lord, are all over me.  Forgive me for wiping them off.  Forgive me for not showing those prints to others.  Help me to teach my children this truth of Your touch on their lives.
