"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 the going down of the sun."
Exodus 17:11-12 (NKJV)
There are many kinds of public transportation systems that are found in the European countries that I have been to. When using some type of public transportation, there have been times I saw someone struggling with luggage, a baby stroller, or something else. Whenever I had the chance, I would help them. With my assistance they were able to do what they needed to do. But, when I helped that person I was not just helping them but anyone they were with and even the overall public transportation system because I helped things move quicker than they would have otherwise.
When we have the ability to do something that will help another person, with whatever they are doing and we can make their task easier, we should. In the story from Exodus 17, Moses got tired so two people helped him by holding up his hands. When Aaron and Hur helped Moses, they were not just helping Moses, these men were actually helping the people of Israel and even helping God's plan come to pass. When we help someone, like with what Aaron and Hur did, we are directly helping that person, but it can also be that we are involved in something bigger.
Do we realize that when we help in our church on some team that we are really helping the Pastor and also helping God? Every person is an important part of their team, each team is an important part of their church, and each church is an important part of God's plan. Every person on a team is a part of the team, a part of the church, and a part of God's plan. If we don't work together then we won't fulfill the overall will of God because God's plan is bigger than just one person. The question for us today is, whose hands are we holding up?
