I happened to be tuning my radio the other night to get some news and I heard someone singing that song called “Invisible Hands.” It was a very pleasing melody and the thought brought to me by the words stayed with me.
In the faith chapter of Hebrew, Chapter 11, verse 27, we read how Moses forsook Egypt, braved the wrath of King Pharaoh all because of what he saw through the eye of faith, the invisible God. My friend, even in this day we can be conscious of the presence of God though He may be invisible. Though our human eye cannot see Him, our spiritual eye is not so limited, and if we walk in Holiness, our eyes shall behold our King.
Holy men of old spake as they heard words of instruction from Him who is invisible. Martyrs of old received strength for the ordeal of death through one touch of invisible hands. I have heard testimonies of some that were healed who declared a hand touched them. They did not see it; no one else saw it, but they felt the touch of the invisible hand of God.
Not so far from any of us is another world. Just one step away perhaps are wonders too great for mortal to comprehend. As earth-bound creatures we as yet are limited in vision and cannot see the greatness of God. But again and again to an earnest seeking heart there comes the touch of the unseen hand. In that touch there is encouragement, life and health.
Have you ever heard the voice behind you saying, “This is the way; walk ye in it?” God is not far away. Have you solved the mystery of Christ within the hope of glory? God is not far away. Have you ever felt burdened and depressed, and you not had the experience of the lifted burden, as if a hand had reached down and relieved you of your load? You did not see the hand but you felt the burden lift and you were once more free.
I am sure God has ministering angels. In Hebrews 1:13 and 14 we read of them. I am sure they are sent forth from the presence of God to strengthen the children of faith. What does it matter whether we see the minister or not as long as we are ministered unto? Small matter if I see the hand or not; more important that I have been touched and set free. Daniel did not see the battle raging in the heavens, but he knew when the answer came.
Within you, my Christian friend, dwells the spirit of the eternal. He is with us, this eternal one, and His promise is that He shall never leave us nor forsake. Though the enemy comes in like a flood, the spirit of the Lord shall raise up a standard against him. Greater is He that is within you than he that is in the world. Though Satan may try you, always remember the angel of the Lord encampeth round about those who fear God. God preserveth all those who put their trust in Him.
In this world we are sure we shall have tribulation but within us in Spirit dwells the one who overcame the world. Undoubtedly His angles have been given charge over us. They shall bear us up on their wings of power and lift us high above the overflow.
When you are tried, tested, afflicted, thou child of God, expect a touch from the invisible hand of God. Just one touch is all that will be needed, one miraculous touch. Sickness must depart, evil spirits flee, glorious enlightenment comes, just through a touch of the unseen hand of God. Look up my friend, God is all sufficient for thy need. His promise is eternally thine. Fear not. Thou art not alone. He is with thee. Underneath thee are the everlasting arms. They shall bear thee up lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. Thou art chosen of the Lord and precious. Thou in Him and He in thee. Perfected in His likeness thou shalt be. A creature of this earth no doubt but more than that a citizen of Heaven. Lift up thine eyes, reach out thy hand. His hand will touch thee now.
