Redeeming Touch
Genesis 27:40
Isaac’s blessing on Esau….
But when you grow restless
you will throw his yoke
from off his neck.
For the Hebrew people the words of blessing were seen as a prophetic act. To bless the children and grandchildren is to invite God to act in their lives for their good and for the shaping of their character within the people of God. Taking our cue from the blessings mentioned in Hebrews 11: 2-18 we will bless the next generation.
Father, we read scandal after scandal
of children abused and misused,
suffering cruelty at hands that should care
being trafficked to satisfy unspeakable lusts
often - God forgive us - in the church.
Bless the children
affected by the media revelations…...................
that unseen wounds may be healed
by your redeeming touch.
