will you raise it up

Late. Whatever. In case you forgot, for me.

Discussion from Fri morning about Moses and the arm incident. Related to things I've been mulling over. In case you forgot this, too, Ex 17. Amalekites charging and Israel strategizing. The tides of battle turned whenever Moses lifted his arms. Heard preached about effort related to God's victory. Heard preached about prayer being synonymous to the raised arms.

What of Aaron and Hur, the arm-raisers? What of them? Support for the greater vision of Moses. Something as stupid and trivial-sounding as armlifting. Where am I going with this? Regardless of the stupid act or stupid idea or heck, even stupid person, the need to support the leader to achieve God's victory is evident.

Are you ready to lift?
