Who is Holding your hands?

1. Exodus 17:8-16
Revised Standard Version (RSV

2. )
Amalek Attacks Israel and Is Defeated
8 Then came Am′alek and fought
with Israel at Reph′idim.

3. 9 And Moses said to
Joshua,
“Choose for us
men, and go out,
fight with Am′alek;

4. 10 Tomorrow I will stand on the top of
the hill with the rod of God in my
hand.”

5. So Joshua did as Moses told him, and
fought with Am′alek; and Moses,
Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of
the hill. 11

6. Whenever
Moses held up
his hand, Israel
prevailed; and
whenever he
lowered his
hand, Am′alek
prevailed.

7. 12 But Moses’ hands
grew weary; so they
took a stone and put it
under him, and he sat
upon it,
and Aaron and Hur
held up his hands, one
on one side

8. , and the other on the
other side; so his hands
were steady until the
going down of the sun.
13 And Joshua mowed
down Am′alek and his
people with the edge of
the sword.

9. 14 And the LORD said to
Moses, “Write this as
a memorial in a book
and recite it in the
ears of Joshua, that
I will utterly blot out
the remembrance of
Am′alek from under
heaven.”

10. 15 And Moses built an altar
and called the name of it,
The LORD is my banner,
16 saying, “A hand upon the
banner of the LORD!

11. The LORD will have war with Am′alek
from generation to generation.”

12. Who’s Holding Up Your Arms?

13. Simply put,
it is less “me”
and more
“we”.

14. Partnership
is the fuel that
allows common
people to attain
uncommon
results…

15. we are to look to the LORD who stands
before us and rally behind Him...
the LORD gives us a vision of Himself,
in the Scriptures and in our own
experience, of His trustworthiness.

16. Our help is in the Name of the Lord
who made heaven and earth (Ps 120)

17. Psalm 63:4
So I will bless you as long as I live; in
your name I will lift up my hands.

19. The ordinary bat that flies
around at night, is a remarkably
agile creature in the air, but
cannot take off from a level
place.
The, all at once, it takes off in a flash.
If it is placed on a floor or flat ground, all it can do is
shuffle around helplessly and, no doubt, painfully,
until it reaches some slight elevation from which it
can throw itself into the air.

21. In many ways,
we are like the buzzard, the bat and the bumble bee.
We Struggle with problems and frustrations, never
realizing that all we have to do is look up!
That’s the answer, the escape route and the
solution to any problem!
Just look up to God in prayer

25. Luke 18: 8
However, when the Son of Man
comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
