Scripture of the Day
Exodus 17:11-13 (NKJV)
“Sideline Warrior”
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. So Joshua defeated Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
---------------------------------------
Joshua was instructed by Moses to choose some men and battle with Amalek. Moses, Aaron and Hur went up to the top of the hill to observe the battle. And so it was, when Moses held up his hand they were winning and when his hand would move down they were losing! When Aaron and Hur realized what was happening, they sat Moses on a stone and held his hands up! They stood shoulder to shoulder and hand in hand . . . on the sideline! Although those on the battlefield were giving their all in combat, it was the support of the sideline warriors that brought the victory home!
Too often we think that if we are not in the battle, we can’t be effective for the team! We may think that if they are not writing about us or chanting our name, that we are not important to the team! Please know that, we all have a place and purpose in the battle for our families, our churches, and our communities! You may be in the thick of the battle or on the sideline . . . don’t give up! I can imagine how their hands being lifted up was confusing the enemy! Why would they be on the sideline with raised hands! That’s called praising HIM in advance, and it will confuse the enemy every time!!
Be Blessed In The LORD!
