Knowing God - His Touch



Dan 10:10
 And, behold, an hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands.

An angel was sent by the Lord to Daniel in response to his prayers.  The Lord sends His angels to do His work.  Here, the angel touches Daniel and it resulted in Daniel being on his knees and the palms of his hands.  This teaches us that one posture we can take in response to the Lord answering our prayers is on our knees with our palms on the ground.  In our society we have tried to move away from empty ritualistic positions of prayer so that sincerity of communication is sought rather than structured positions.  In doing this, we may be losing the fact that there are examples of different postures of prayer recorded in the scriptures.  The Lord’s touch is intended to have an effect on us.  Let’s be open and flexible to the responses He would desire from us as He reaches into our lives and communicates with us.
