Let's hold each other up!!

Have you read the story of Moses, where he told Joshua to go out to battle and he would stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in his hand?  

When moses held up his hand, Israel prevailed, but when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.  As Moses's hands got tired, Aaron and Hur got a stone for Moses to sit on and held up his hands until the end of the battle.   (Exodus 17:8-13)

When I was thinking about this passage, it kept coming to me that we need to be more like Aaron and Hur and when we know someone is struggling, we can be the ones to step in and hold their hands up for them. Just like Aaron and Hur did with Moses.  

Do you know someone today that is struggling that could use some help?  Maybe that help is just praying for them.  There may not be anything that you can do in a particular situation, but we can always hold them up in prayer.  

It could be sending them a cheerful message or going out for coffee with them so that person knows they are not alone.  Maybe there is something practical to do, such as giving someone a ride or picking up groceries for them.  Think about this as you go throughout your week and see if you can be the hands of Jesus this week?

If you are the one struggling with something that you don't know how to get through it, just know that I am praying for you as I write this, that this message will touch your heart as you read it.  

Look every man also on the things of others.  Phillippians 2:4

Victory

Exodus 14:14  says "The Lord will fight for you and you shall hold your peace." When you are in the middle of a trial, it feels like it is never-ending.  Will we be able to conquer?  Will the battle plan actually work?  The devil just keeps attacking and the battle feels like it just won't stop.  Even when we know the battle plan is solid and we know what to do, it is hard.  At times, God tells us to hold our peace and He will fight the battle for us.  Do you know how hard it is to just surrender control to God?   God has been dealing with my heart lately that we need to start proclaiming the victory over all situations.  Over the sickness that we are fighting, over the stressful situations that you may be facing, just proclaim victory over your life.  We need to proclaim God's victory.  He wrote the battle plan.  He knows what your future holds.  God even understands the stress from the middle of the battlefield.

Impossible!!!

1 Peter 1: 7-9 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: 8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see  him  not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: 9 Receiving the end of your faith,  even  the salvation of  your  souls. What is your impossible situation?  What is your I need a miracle situation?  I heard these lines in a song recently and it got me to thinking about how sometimes situations in our lives seem so impossible and out of control.  We just don't know what to do about it or what to think about that situation. I read the above scripture in 1 Peter last week and it got me to thinking about how gold is refined by going through fire, diamonds are mined from deep within the earth.  We wouldn't have the beautiful jewelry and precious me...

Break down the Walls of Jericho

Break down the Walls of Jericho:  My 5 year old son likes to watch Bible Stories on YouTube and the other day we were watching about the Israelites marching around Jericho.  God told them to march around the city once a day for 6 days and they had to be very quiet each time.  On day 4 or 5 they started to grumble that they needed a leader that would lead them in to war to take the city, but Joshua reminded them that God said they needed to just march and on the 7th day they were to march around the city 7 times.   How many times does God tell us to do something and we grumble and complain because we don't think we are getting answers fast enough?   There is a cute song that plays on the video that says: Break down the walls of Jericho, break down the walls, lift your voice and shout until the wall comes down.     On the 7th time around the city, Joshua tells the people to shout, praise, and sing for the victory is theirs.  Claim the...
