And there was a woman there who for eighteen years had had an infirmity caused by a spirit (a demon of sickness). She was bent completely forward and utterly unable to straighten herself up or to look upward (Luke 13:11, AMP)
Who hasn’t had that kind of back pain? Fortunately, mine hasn’t lasted for all those years. Still, while it is with you it is hard to be cheerful, let alone straighten up.
In today’s world we might all think that bent back person is just on their cell phone!
But then Jesus shows up and the lady recognizes him. Was it the crowd or his words or did she spot his righteous feet?
No matter; the fact is he did come along and he did straighten her back.
Then He laid [His] hands on her, and instantly she was made straight, and she recognized and thanked and praised God. (Luke 13:13, AMP)
Jesus straightens out our kinks (and quite frankly, he will also help you give up your cell phone too!). All we have to do is look up.
Prayer- Lord, you are the healer of all that ails us and we thank you again today for that. Amen.
