EXPERIENCING GOD'S SUPPORT

Baca: Exodus 17:8-16

Bacaan tahunan: Job 38-39

A mountain climber testified shortly after successfully conquering a mountain, "I would never have reached the peak without my friends." He recounted the tough climb, when his legs were tired, almost giving up and his breath was gasping, that was when his friends took turns holding his hand, giving him water, and boosting his spirit to keep going. At the summit, he cried not because of exhaustion, but because he realized that his victory came from the support of his friends.

When the Israelites were fighting against the Amalekites, their victory depended on Moses' hands lifted up to the Lord. However, Moses remained a human who could not always keep lifting up his staff with both hands, he got tired and lowered his hands. But, Aaron and Hur did not let their leader struggle alone. They supported his hands until the sun went down and Israel won!

As believers, we often experience weariness. Tired from work, prayer, ministry, and facing life's struggles. There are times when our faith is so weak and our hands fall. That's when we need the support of God's hands present through the hands of our fellow believers. Their prayers, attention, and presence strengthen us to stand firm. The support of Aaron and Hur's hands shows sensitivity to the weariness of others, ready to support and pray for them. Are we willing to offer our hands to be used by God as a means to support the lives of others who are weary? --SYS/www.renunganharian.net

WHEN WE ARE WEARY, GOD REACHES OUT HIS HAND AND WORKS THROUGH FELLOW BELIEVERS WHO SUPPORT EACH OTHER.
