So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
But Moses’ hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat there on; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.
And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.Exodus 17:10-13, KJV
Just as it was that day, when the intercession and praise to God wanes, the power of God doesn’t seem to be so evident. God was supplying the victory for Joshua and his men as long as Moses’ hands were up in intercession. It was a declaration that they can’t do it without God. When his hands were up, they prevailed, when they grew tired and came down, the opponent prevailed. We must recognized first that just because we’re not on the front line in battle, we still have a very important place in the battle. These men, Moses, Aaron, and Hur had a very important role. Think about Aaron and Hur holding this man’s hands up until the victory was one. There are many men and women today that have held their hands up a long time and they’ve gotten tired. We must look around and see these signs. We must humble ourselves and get under these individuals and hold up their arms. God has been honoring their intercession and praise, and we need to keep it going no matter what in order to achieve the victory in the battles that lie ahead.
