When our hands grow weary

"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 upon it, and 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. And Joshua mowed down Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword." Exodus 17:11-13

We were created for community; the fact that we are relational beings is stamped in our bodies as the physical expression of our souls. As we travel on God's path for us, we will find that we cannot do it alone. We need others around us who can hold up our arms when we no longer have the strength to do so ourselves; we need to be there to hold up the arms of another who is laboring for the Lord. If we are all one body in Christ, His hands will be steady until the going down of the sun, and God's Kingdom will reign on earth.
