One of the crowning days in a Christian’s life is when he or she ceases attempting to straighten out the world and its inhabitants. It can be most tedious and frustrating, trying to straighten out a bent iron bar with weak hands. When will we learn, it is the Lord who accomplishes the straightening out process. “I will make…crooked things straight,” says the Lord.
The woman who was bowed together for eighteen years, and could not lift herself up, was not helped by friends, loved ones, or the local pastor, no matter how well-meaning they may have been. It was when Jesus took charge that it says, “…immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.” Even if you were Atlas, you couldn't have accomplished this amazing feat
God is the great “straightner-outer.”
