Faith is a Simple Look
Commentators emphasize the simplicity of the action: "They looked unto him." This isn't a complex ritual but a simple act of faith. Charles Spurgeon notes, "Only a look, and their burden was gone." Turning your focus from worldly problems, which cause confusion, to God brings life, light, and salvation. Access to God's help begins with the simple, intentional act of looking to Him.
