Today’s passage: Exodus 17
“Then Amalek came and fought with Israel at Rephidim. So Moses said to Joshua, “Choose for us men, and go out and fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the staff of God in my hand.” So Joshua did as Moses told him, and fought with Amalek, while Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. Whenever Moses held up his hand, Israel prevailed, and whenever he lowered his hand, Amalek prevailed. But Moses’ hands grew weary, so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it, while Aaron and Hur held up his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side. So his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.”
Exodus 17:8-12 ESV
I’m tired.
I can’t go on.
When will this be over?
These are some of the words and phrases that we say constantly when we are going through something or experiencing something that is not manageable.
We are human.
We are vulnerable.
We are fallible.
We get tired and frustrated and distraught. But in this passage, we see that God gives us the ability to persevere, but he also has resources that are there to help hold us up, Aaron and Hur.
No matter what we’re going through God has sent support to us in the midst of our battles and our troubles.
The thing that we have to do is to allow others to support us when we are in need.
Be Blessed
