A touch births service

"When Jesus came into Peter's house he saw Peter's mother-in-law lying in bed with a fever. He touched her hand and the fever left her, and she got up and began to wait on him." Matthew 8:14, 15

I can see Peter's mother-in-law lying in bed, the Bible doesn't say, but she was probably pale, chilled, nauseous, weak, achy, etc... and yet didn't say a word. When I read this scripture today it jump out at me that Jesus didn't say a word either! He just touched her hand and the fever that was inside her body making her weak, achy, chilled, etc... left in an instant, just by His touch. What did she do in the moment Jesus' hand left her hand do you wonder? I like to believe that she maybe just lay there for a moment in awe of what had just happened to her. I believe that she was in awe of the pain instantly leaving her body. I believe that she was in awe of feeling the fever leave her body. I can see her after that moment of awe, throwing back the sheets and rising to her feet and going to work doing what mother-in-laws do! She was able to serve Jesus and Peter because Jesus had served her with his touch!

Do you need the hand of Jesus to touch you today? Do you find yourself in bed, Spiritually speaking or maybe even sick in body? Jesus will walk by and touch your hand and you will feel Him, if you let Him! Do you need Him to touch you today so that you can be of service to Him? We all are called to do something for Him and we need to seek His direction for our lives and find out what our service to Him will be!
