Steady On

S ~ Moses’ arms soon became so tired he could no longer hold them up. So Aaron and Hur found a stone for him to sit on. Then they stood on each side of Moses, holding up his hands. So his hands held steady until sunset. Exodus 17:12

O ~ His arms soon became tired. Sometimes it doesn't take very long to get tired. His hands held steady because of people who supported him. They let him sit, but they didn't replace him. They didn't hold up their own hands and say 'we've got this old man'; rather they found a way to support him - and God brought the victory through his steady hands.

A ~ I want to learn from this. I have far too often tried to take things from others - 'here, let me do this for you', all the while not recognizing that there is a better way. 

P ~ Lord, please help me to stand so others can sit, and be a steadying influence so they can continue in ministry - not be replaced.
