LET US LOOK AT JESUS, NOT AT THE DUST.

Luke 13:11
And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself.

MEDITATION:
Imagine being bowed over for 18 years. All you would see is the dust on the ground. That was the predicament of that woman.
Thank God she finally saw the beautiful feet of Jesus, who brought her good news and raised her up.
Dust is the devil’s food. The Bible tells us that God cursed the devil to eat dust all the days of his life (see Genesis 3:14).
Dust therefore represents evil, since we know very well that devil feeds only on evil.
We can not be physically inclined like this woman, but, It may happen that our mind be inclined to see only « dust ».
And when we look only at dust, we can only see evil, that our faults, our failures, our weaknesses, and our relationships are deprived of peace and joy.
If then we want to look only at the dust, let’s look up from the dust! Instead of looking at our failures, let’s look at Christ who delivered us from every defeat. Let us see ourselves as God sees us – righteous and holy in Christ (see Colossians 3:12, 2 Corinthians 5:21).
Beloved, if we decide to look and fix on Christ, we will straighten up and walk as God sees us – a new creation endowed with His authority, power and victorious spirit!

PRAYER:
Lord our God, give us the strength to straighten up spiritually so that we could see and follow Christ.
It is in the precious name of your son Jesus Christ that we pray.
Amen.
