Looking up

When the Psalmist said "From whence comest my help?", he followed it up by acknowledging the maker of heaven and earth and that his helper was none else.
For 18 years the lady was bent down and could not see up. It was not some physical ailment but the spirit of infirmity which bent her down. She could not see the sights and sounds around her. The laughter of children around her would have spurred her to lift up and join them, but she could not. She could not lift up her face to the sky and have rain drop down on her face. She could not look up at the source of the bright sunshine around her nor the soft glow of the moon that played around her feet. All that she could see was the earth - the very earth that reminded her of where she came from and where she would return to. 18 long years. She surely would have sought help from all and sundry. But none turned out to be her helper.
One day in her life came Jesus. He called out to her. Touched her and she was healed. She could now stand straight. Her eyes now shifted from the earth to its very maker. She could behold HIS Glory.
Where are you looking? What are you bent down with? Which spirit of Infirmity is bearing you down?
Let Jesus into your life and touch you. And you shall behold the Glory of your Maker
