Take a moment today to thank God for the help he sends.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. The other day I was reading in the Bible where the Amalekites attacked the Israelites. If you’ll recall, Moses had to raise his hands for the Israelites to win, but eventually he grew tired. And so, it says, “Aaron and Hur held his hands up … so that his hands remained steady till sunset.” Well, had it not been for Aaron and Hur helping Moses, the Israelites might have perished. That story reminds me that we all need help, especially when we’re in a battle. Think of how many times a friend or a family member has come to your aid when you’ve felt tired or weary from struggling through some hardship. Well, those good folks just didn’t “happen along;” God sent them – just like he sent Aaron and Hur to come to the aid of Moses. So, take a moment today to thank God for the help he sends and then, be sure to show gratitude to the Aarons and the Hurs in your life.
