And so it was, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. But Moses’ hands became heavy; so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it. And Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until going down of the sun. Exodus 17:11-12

Today’s passage is an excerpt from a battle between the Amlek army and God’s children, the Israelites. As long as Moses kept his arms stretched out, the Israelites would prevail, but as his arms grew tired and dropped, the Amlek army prevailed. Thankfully Aaron and Hur were there to support him and the Israelites were victorious.

During my prayer time this morning God laid upon my heart to share this message….”don’t give up the fight”. Life is work. There are good days and bad days. After years of fighting those battles to keep it together, your strength to keep going can waiver and you want to drop your arms and give up. DON’T! God did not mean for you to go at it alone. He promised to be with you, to sustain you, protect you and guide you as the days keep coming. “The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.” Exodus 14:14

Maybe your battle is holding your marriage together, helping a child whose ways are off course and you are giving up hope, the struggle to sustain when your health is failing….its an endless list. We all face battles in life and need to rely on God and others to help support us. Lean on a friend for help, seek after God to strengthen you and sustain your faith. The battle was never meant to be fought alone, seek help today and keep the victory in sight! God bless!
