13:10-17 I was reading the story of the crippled woman and wanted to share some thoughts from Ken Gire.
• Physically her view was of the dirt and litter of the world instead of being able to look at the sky.
• Spiritually we see the damage Satan can do.
• Jesus teaches (vs. 10) and then shows his teaching by putting it into action.
• The woman was crippled but was at the synagogue to worship God.
• She praised God and not man for her healing.
• Did the synagogue miss the miracle? Shouldn’t he be rubbing his eyes instead of raising his voice?
• Notice the now flexibility of the woman verses the rigidity of the religious leaders.
How about you? Are you ready today to stand tall and see the sky?

I was telling my wife about Tony Campollo's story about the crippled boy that was healed. I wonder if many times we, just like the synagogue, miss the miracles around us. We don't expect miraculous healings today, yet God has not lost any of his powers over the years. Could it simply be a rigid lack of faith on our part?
