Q: What is a "touchstone"?
A: Here is the definition of a “touchstone” from the dictionary:

Touchstone: 1. Lydian stone; basanite; - so called because used to test the purity of gold and silver by the streak which is left upon the stone when it is rubbed by the metal. 2. Any test or criterion by which the qualities of a thing are tried. (Webster’s 1913 Dictionary)

Touchstone: A basis for comparison; a reference point against which other things can be evaluated. (WordNet Dictionary)

Our touchstone, as followers of Jesus Christ, is Jesus Christ, himself. He is our standard, our reference point. He is the one we seek to be like.

The Psalmist David cried out asking the Lord to examine him, to test him, to try him to see if there was anything in his life which the Lord was not pleased with. We need the Lord to “rub the metal of our life” against our touchstone, Jesus, to learn the quality of our life. Lord, give me the same humble and hungry attitude that David had before you, to fearlessly let you test my life and accept the determination you make.

Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. (Psalm 139:23, 24, NIV)
