Scripture and Meditation:

As the Children of Israel were journeying through the wilderness the Amalekites attacked.  

As long as Moses held up his hands the Israelites were winning, but whenever he lowered his hands, the Amalekites were winning. When Moses’ hands grew tired, they took a stone and put it under him and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held his hands up—one on one side, and one on the other—so that his hands remained steady till sunset. So Joshua overcame (Ex. 17:11-13 NIV). 

By stretching out his hands toward heaven, Moses demonstrated by his posture total dependence on God. But he could not do it alone…We cannot prevail alone in the battles of this life. Trusted companions must be there to support us. Moses was in earnest prayer over the victory of Israel and Aaron and Hus interceded with him. 

Today’s Prayer Challenge: Oh how we need the prayer support of Christian friends in the battles of our daily life! Pray for each other today. 

Singers/Staff for Prayer: Your prayers for the leaders of this mission trip have brought us this far together. Thank you!
