Exodus 17:8-14
A battle with the Amalekites. Moses stood on the hill with the rod of God in his hand. Joshua fought the battle. Aaron and Hur held Moses tiring hand as he lifts the rod of God.
The battle was lost and won based on the lifting of hands.
When I read this text again. What really grip is the weaponary of our warfare. While Joshua fought, without the lifting of hands, there would be no victory.
Which is more important? The fighting or the lifting?
Without lifting, the fight is over.
We must pray for prayer is lifting the rod of God high. If our desire is for God's kingdom to advance, the spiritual means of prayer is to bloat the Amalek from genearation to generation. The Lord is our banner if only our battle for God's kingdom is first fought with the lifting of hands to ask of God to fight His battle by His servants.
I have seemingly lost sight a fair bit this few weeks. Thank God for this reminder again to lift His banner yet again.
